Case studies

 For this blog, I want to write about the case studies which we did last week.

 My part was Malden Mills, which is a textile company in America. The challenge of the leader of this company, Aaron Feuerstein was to recover this company from an unexpected fire. I would like to show some tactics he used to recoer the situation.

 When the fire came out from the building, he thought that if he could save the 4th building which was safe at that time, and told employees to focus only to save that building. He showed employees short-term objectives and implied that there is still a chance.

 After the accident, they could not do business for about one month. However, he decided to pay salary to all employees, though the debt of the company would become higher. He showed the feeling that we are all one, we die altogether.

 Learning about leaders who used Shackleton's strategy in case studies was very interesting. Also, other members' research were interesting. I really enjoyed last class.
