J. J. Hartwell is the epitome of the modern entrepreneur, with five domestic and international businesses. Inherent in managing these diverse enterprises are problems with human resources, regulatory agencies, monetary exchanges and ever-changing customer wants and needs. These problems are further compounded by differences of culture and distance since there are locations in the US., Central American and Europe.
This multi-dimensional case offers students an opportunity to utilize decision making, critical thinking and perception skills to examine enterprises under varying conditions, both cultural and economic. These issues are diverse and include leadership, management style, management philosophy, motivation, power and entrepreneurship. Each of these issues has international and intercultural ramifications. Other more basic problems include organizational behavior, international management, HRM, acct/fin, marketing and principles of management. By utilizing problem solving models, students should gain a clearer understanding of how to identify problems plus be able to develop, select and apply alternatives leading to more efficient and effective management.
