Kay Sunderland Case
PROBLEM ANALYSIS
The main problem observed in this case was that while Kay Sunderland was busy with three high profile clients, Morgan had some queries regarding the Gramen project. So when he tried to contact Kay, she was not available and he directly called up Nunez without informing Kay.
Kay always believed in delivering what the client has asked for, so she was totally dedicated to the three high profile clients. also she did not considered any room for flexibility and was quite demanding at times.
On the other hand Morgan was always on ready for an opportunity to challenge the client side and always tried to think out of the box.
DECISION ANALYSIS
Decision 1:
Kay takes strict action against Morgan.

Decision 2:
Kay informs her clients about the people in the organization that they could deal with in any case of any emergency.

Decision 3:
Kay becomes more flexible in her decisions, specification of clearer roles and responsibilities
PLAN OF ACTION
Decision 3 should be implemented because it will be most appropriate as it will solve the major problems arising in this case. Had there been clear allotment and delegation of roles and responsibilities, Morgan would have known the course of action expected from him. also this would help in avoiding any conflicts among clients and employees and would also ensure operational efficiency.
The desired plan of action for the same should be as follows:
• Kay should leave a text message regarding an urgent meeting
• Meanwhile she should inform Chama about the situation
• After Morgan is free she should have a meeting with him and try to clear out the differences
• Kay should explain to Morgan that it is very important that he should listen to clients
• In case the problems persists then Chama can take up the

    Since its inception, Ogilvy & Mather established itself as a reputable, creative and successful advertising agency. The company prided itself on having a “first class” focus on creative work and the resources to manage global and local campaign strategies, “the most local of the internationals, the most international of the locals.” During the booming 80’s the agency continued to reap profits even though their business strategy remained unchanged. The failure of Ogilvy & Mather to address the new trends in the advertising industry, such as the emergence of boutique firms and a change in fee structure, eventually led to losses of revenue, accounts, and a stark decrease in morale.…

    The WACC for Collinsville, according to our estimations, came up to about 16.22% (Exhibit I). We took the average of the unlevered betas of comparable companies, 0.91, and relevered it according to Dixon’s target capital structure. Dixon’s 5-year historical debt ratio was 27.5%, but this approach would not be reliable due to its steep downturn debt ratio from 51% in 1975 to 6% in 1979. Thus, we thought that the best estimate of the target debt ratio is 15% for calculation of the WACC.…
