Botswana banking

/in /by

Imagine that you are a consultant with the World Bank. You are dispatched to Botswana to advise their national government on the best courses of action concerning how to spend a recently funded loan to the government. This money, in our hypothetical situation, was designated to be spent solely on the Ju/’hoansi inhabited regions of northwest Botswana. The amount is US$500,000 and as a condition of keeping the loan, the government has been advised to follow your recommendations.

How do you think funds would be best spent in this region? You do not need to provide any specific monetary allocations ($250,000 for funding X and $250,000 for funding Y), but at least indicate on what projects you would spend the money and if each constitutes most or only a small portion of the loan. Providing percentages (25% on X, 75% on Y) is fine.

Your writing should begin with an overview of your opinion and summary of data supporting it and rely on evidence from this week’s readings and any other pertinent course materials (e.g. lecture video) from this week, stated in a clear and organized manner. The writing should be approximately the equivalent of one page double-spaced with citations of our relevant sources to provide evidence for your argument.

The greatest expenses associated with airline operations

/in /by

Among the greatest expenses associated with airline operations are fuel costs. In past years when fuel prices
were rising rapidly, airlines used hedging methods to reduce the procurement risks for sourcing fuel. The two
articles listed below highlight the experiences of three large airlines using different fuel hedging approaches.
Locate the articles in the Hunt Library and review them.
Liu, Chin-Yen A., & Jones, K.J. (2016). Integrated risk management on fuel hedging program: A case study
on Southwest and China Eastern airlines. Academy of Business Research Journal. 2, 74-85.
Manuela Jr., W.S., Rhoades, D.L., & Curtis, T. (2016, August). An analysis of Delta Air Lines’ oil refinery
acquisition. Research in Transportation Economics 56, 50-63.
Write a case study report to analyze the effectiveness and value of fuel hedging by airlines. In your case study report begin with a summary
overview outlining the main logistics issues facing the companies. Then, add detail and analysis by responding to the following topics and
questions.
Describe how each airline used procurement methods to hedge against fuel cost increases. Explain what internal and external
considerations are relevant to the airlines’ decision to hedge fuel prices?
Evaluate the relative effectiveness of each airline’s approach to hedging. Provide an analysis of which method was most successful and
describe what factors made the difference in success or failure of the hedging method.
Discuss the logistics lessons to be learned from the hedging efforts of the airlines. Do you think airlines, in general, will continue to use fuel
hedging in the coming months and years?

Standardized testing

/in /by

Some graduate programs are waiving the requirement of standardized testing (i.e. GRE, LSAT, etc.); however, standardized testing is still a large part of elementary, middle, and high school academics. Do you think that standardized tests are a relevant part of educational development or is this an antiquated practice?
