Robin Hood Case Analysis – Flashcards

question

Robin Hood Objective of Case: Problem identification and Possible Solutions

answer

question

Main Issues #1 Robin Hood and his merry men are now in trouble because wealthy travelers (their source of revenue) are avoiding the forest.

answer

question

Mains Issue # 2 Growth has meant that specialized duties have begun taking up most of the men's time, leaving a command vacuum between Robin and the first line recruits.

answer

question

Main Issue # 3 In addition, they are now all located in a large encampment that can be seen for miles. This creates the probability of a surprise attack on their position.

answer

question

Main Issue # 4 Growth has also put great pressures on resources, so now they must harvest the forest more thoroughly. Where will additional revenue come from? Rich travelers are avoiding the forest, so in desperation Robin is considering robbing the poorer travelers, which means his lieutenants must now tell their men to rob their brothers and fathers. What started as a rebellion is in danger of being routinized into banditry.

answer

question

Key Question: Mission Growth has also put great pressures on resources, so now they must harvest the forest more thoroughly. Where will additional revenue come from? Rich travelers are avoiding the forest, so in desperation Robin is considering robbing the poorer travelers, which means his lieutenants must now tell their men to rob their brothers and fathers. What started as a rebellion is in danger of being routinized into banditry.

answer

question

Key Question: What Business is Robin Hood In? This answer points to the importance of vision and mission, gives the leader a clear idea of the purpose of the business, and who it competes with, in order to craft a strategy. If the business is robbery, there are different competitors, like highwaymen.

answer

question

Key Question: RH's Strategic Problem # 1 As Robin Hood's organization has grown, food resources are becoming scarce and it has encountered a profit squeeze: revenue is down and costs are rising.

answer

question

RH Strategic Problem # 2 In addition, there are cracks in the culture of the organization: as the organizational membership has increased, discipline problems have emerged.

answer

question

RH Strategic Problem 3-4 3. The original business model of "robbing the rich and giving to the poor" appears to no longer be viable, and the "competition" from the Sheriff is growing stronger as the Sheriff increasingly uses his "alliances" and connections with Prince John to get better organized. 4. In addition, "new entrants" into the Sherwood Forest environment, the barons, are proposing that Robin join with them to restore King Richard If this happens, Robin Hood's mission may no longer be relevant because the need to restore "justice" may no longer exist.

answer

question

Questions that need to be answered Has Sherwood Forest become too small to sustain operations? How to avoid detection of the now "major encampment"? What to do about the growing strength of the Sheriff's forces? How to address organizational communications and redefine the leadership focus?

answer

question

Decisions that need to be made Should RH impose a fixed transit tax in order to increase revenues? Should RH kill the sheriff? Should RH accept the baron's offer to join in freeing King Richard? How to avoid detection in a growing organization? Expand operations away from Sherwood Forest?

answer

question

Consequences to be considered What might happen if Robin expanded operations beyond Sherwood Forest? Does the change in the external environment mean that the original mission is no longer valid? If Robin Hood decides to kill the Sheriff, accept the Baron's offer or impose a tax on travelers, how do each of those actions link to the original mission? If the mission changes, to what degree does Robin Hood have to worry about the loyalty of stakeholders?

answer

question

Possible Answer If Robin Hood expands operations beyond Sherwood Forest, that may solve his revenue and resource problems, but it will create issues with organizational communications - he can't keep track of his men now, so what will happen if the physical environment changes even further? Would his existing organizational structure still work with a larger group? It appears as if the changing conditions might also mean a shift in the original mission, especially if Robin decides to impose a fixed transit tax.

answer

question

Possible Answer Killing the Sheriff might satisfy Robin's "personal thirst for revenge", but it wouldn't improve the situation, especially since someone else might take up the Sheriff's role. Likewise, if Robin decided to align with the barons his group would have to accept amnesty, and how many of his "men" would feel good about this? There was no assurance that the barons' plan would work, plus this would require a real shift in overall mission from banditry to court political intrigue, and multiple stakeholders might object (how would the poor people feel?)

answer

question

Main Issue The major issue concerns the rapid growth of the organization and the changing external environmental conditions. In the space of two years the organization grew from fragmentation and obscurity to a strong regional presence. Competitive strategy is about sustaining a position in the industry. Growth implies that strategy has to be flexible enough to adapt. Does Robin have a sustainable strategy?
