This should be a mandatory business school case study, everywhere..... you run a Fortune 50 company that is losing billions, even tens of billions of dollars.
Do you
(A) Double down and act like nothing is wrong until everything goes “poof”
(B) Whine and wail about your problems but do nothing
(c) Vigorously slash costs, re-organize, optimize product lines, labor staff/pay/benefits and production facilities for your real-life business environment..... declare bankruptcy if necessary but do everything humanly possible to get your business enterprise on a sound footing
or,
(D) Go running to the federal govt. for a “bailout” that might at best push your problems a year or two down the road.
If you answer anything but (C) you get booted out of the MBA program instantly. If you answer (C) then you must present a detailed, comprehensive plan by the end of the course, showing exactly how you propose to save the company.
If we could only do that with the, ah, nevermind :(
