  • 1.  case requiring valuation of HR/OB costs and benefits

    Posted 07-05-2012 16:57

    Hi

     

    I am teaching OB to students doing a Masters in Accounting and am looking for cases that are compatible with their skills and interests. Particularly cases that  allow them to conduct a monetary valuation of OB/HR costs/benefits to a company following expansion/downsizing/merger/acquisition. For example, estimate the monetary value of the "costs" of culture conflict between the merged companies, or the HR-related "benefits" (e.g., reduced costs of administration), or any other benefits such as those accruing from knowledge transfer etc.

     

    Thanks for any help and sorry for cross-postings

    Dear Phani,

    What a great idea.  I'm aware of a few case series that may or may not have all the data you'd need, but at least partial measures.  The Peter Browning at Continental White Cap series (A-E) by Todd Jick is a good one.  The Nueces Task Force A and B series at Darden also has some connections.  The SBS-MCI merger case series at Darden also.  (3-5 cases).  And I think there is a great case coming out in NACRA on a Slovakian Pharmacy chain that's expanding that also has some good data.  Debbie Ettington editor at NACRA can advise on the publishing date on that one.  The Marsha Harris case series at Darden also addresses this. https://store.darden.virginia.edu/  I hope these help.  Please let us know when you do your study. 

     

    Best wishes,

    Jim

    Hi Phani...Not sure this would work for you but take a look at the "Profit Maximization and Layoffs" case in the Giving Voice TO Values collection (www.GivingVoiceToValues.org). If you are interested let me know at Mgentile3@babson.edu, I can send you the faculty-only link to teaching notes.
    Cheers.

    Hi Phani:
    Consider 'Moneyball' by Michael Lewis. The use of sabermetrics for recruitment and selection should appeal to your cohort.
