In the last few years, colleges and universities have signed exclusive agreements with a variety of private companies In the last few years, colleges and universities have signed exclusivity agreements with a variety of private companies. These agreements bind the university to sell that company’s products exclusively on the campus. Many of the agreements involved food and beverage firms. A large university with a total enrollment of about 50,000 students has offered Pepsi-Cola an exclusivity agreement, which would give Pepsi exclusive rights to sell their products at all university facilities for the next year and an option for future years. In return, the university would receive 35% of the on-campus revenues and an additional lump sum of $200,000 per year. Pepsi has been given 2 weeks to respond.The management at Pepsi quickly reviews what they know. The market for soft drinks is measured in terms of the equivalent of 12-ounce cans. Pepsi currently sells an average of 22,000 cans or their equivalents per week (over the 40 weeks of the year that the university operates). The cans sell for an average of 75 cents each. The costs, including labor, amount to 20 cents per can. Pepsi is unsure of its market share but suspects it is considerably less than 50%. A quick analysis reveals that if its current market share were 25%, then, with an exclusivity agreement, Pepsi would sell 88,000 cans per week or 3,520,000 cans per year (calculated as 88,000 cans per week * 40 weeks).gross revenue= 3,520,000 cans x $75 revenue/can= $2,640,000 This figure must be multiplied by 65%since the university would rake in 35% of the gross. Thus,65% X $2,640,000 = 1,716,000The total cost of 20 cents per can(or $704,000 and the annual payment to the university of $200,000 is subtracted to obtain the net profit.Net profit = $1,716,000$704,000 – $200,000 = $812,000Their current annual profit isCurrent profit = 40 weeks X22,000 cans/week X $.55/can= $484,000If the current market share is 25%, the potential gain from the agreement is$812,000 – $484,000 = $328,000the only problem with this analysis is that Pepsi does not know how many soft drinks are sold weekly at the university. In addition, Coke is not likely to supply Pepsi with information about it’s sales, which together with Pepsi’s line of products constitutes virtually the entire market.A recent graduate of a business program believes that a survey of the university students can supply the needed information. Accordingly, she organizes a survey that asks 500 students to keep track of the number of soft drinks they purchase on campus over the next 7 days. perform a statistical analysis to extract the needed information from the data. Estimate with 95% confidence the parameter that is at the core of the decision problem. Use the the estimate to compute estimates of the annual profits. Assume that Coke and Pepsi drinkers would be willing to buy either product in the absence of their first choice.a. On the basis of maximizing profits from sales of soft drinks at the university, should Pepsi agree to the exclusivity agreement?b. Write a report to the company’s executives describing your analysis . Please note: all answers and responses must be comprehensive in nature and very!!! very!!! detailed and explainable. Looking for a great product. Thanks

a. Yes, Pepsi should agree to the exclusivity agreement. As per the Survey it has beenrevealed that the Estimate is having 95% Confidence for Decision Problem whichmeans that total cans will be…

In the last module we looked at the Balanced Scorecard and how it is implemented from more of a purist’s approach and just touched on the flexibility of the tool. In this module, we are going to look at the BSC from more of an adaptive approach. That is to say, how adaptable is this tool given the wide variety of organizations out there in the world. 

In this assignment you are asked to study the required readings and to read the following case study: 

Basu, R., Little, C., Millard, C., (2009). Case Study: A fresh approach of the Balanced Scorecard in the Heathrow Terminal 5 project. Measuring Business Excellence. 13(4). 22-33. Retrieved from: http://www.perf-ex.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/T5-case-study-MBE-papaer.pdf 

After reading this article, write an essay in which you compare and contrast the balanced scorecard utilized by the British Airport Authority (BAA) at Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 5 project with the standard quadrants typically applied in a traditional BSC approach (financial focus, Internal focus, Learning and Growth focus, and Customer focus). That is to say, the Terminal 5 project was a large, public construction project using private contractors. Yet, the BSC approach is also applied to the manufacturing sector, health care sector, and is applied in both private and public organizations. So you’ll want to consider how the T5 project adapted the BSC approach to fit the prevailing circumstances to help formulate your arguments. 

Assignment Expectations

In formulating your essay you need to discuss to what degree the evidence suggests the balanced scorecard approach is amenable to most organizations. 

Introduction: In this part of your essay you will need to introduce your topic and provide a very brief overview of the key points you plan to make in your paper.

Analysis: In this section you will present the actual comparison and contrast between BAA’s approach to the Balanced Scorecard and more traditional approaches.

Conclusion: Wrap up your argument with a clear and cogent synopsis of your findings. Do your best to convince your reader (aka, your professor) as to your position.

Additional Instructions: Your essay should be 3 to 4 pages in length (not counting your title page or references). You must include a list of references. APA formatting is preferred. Do not paste in sections of text into your essay. All of your work must be written in your own words. It’s OK to use a short quote now and again, but quotations must be in quotation marks and properly cited. In-text citations should be used anytime you are borrowing somebody else’s ideas, or information. That is to say, if you are borrowing a thought from a publication from F. Leghorn’s article written in 2010, that section of text must be followed with (Leghorn, 2010). Quotations, data, and general ideas (put into your own words) should all be cited.
