Subject area Financial Accounting and Corporate Finance. Study level/applicability Undergraduate, Post Graduate and Executive Education. Case overview T.A. Pai Management Institute (TAPMI), a leading B School in South India had established its new campus in Badagabettu village, about 5 km away from Manipal, Udupi District, Karnataka. Though the campus housed about a thousand inmates, comprising students, staff and faculty members, a proper public transport system did not develop commensurate with other facilities. The TAPMI administration was flooded with requests from various stakeholders to find a solution to this vexed problem. The Dean Administration had three options before him namely convincing the existing private bus operator to run a new bus en route TAPMI, TAPMI purchases the bus by either paying cash or availing loan from a bank or TAPMI can take a bus on lease. The predicament before Dean was to find out the most economically viable solution. Expected learning outcomes At the end of this case discussion, the participants will be able to: understand the application of breakeven analysis; prepare income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement and forecast of cash flows; evaluate financing and investing decisions by using various techniques; discuss and debate the different alternatives available to the organization.

Full textAbstract:
School finance reform in Kentucky provided significant new general purpose and categorical revenues to school districts. This analysis of comparative case studies in four high- and low-wealth Kentucky districts asks: Did expenditures increase? Did expenditure patterns change? What did reform dollars buy? In short, expenditures increased in all districts, and spending patterns changed only incrementally, with slight percentage increases directed to instruction. Reform dollars purchased instructional materials, technology, and professional development; they compensated teachers; and they funded new, state-mandated programs. Still, nonprogrammatic financial reporting masked the extent to which reform dollars supported required changes in teaching and learning.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, to concentrate superior education resources, many ultra-large-scale secondary schools are established around constantly, but in the process of construction and operation, many problems are exposed, due to the lack of design standards and experiences. At the same time, how to adapt to the concept of quality education and quality education method is the great challenge of the ultra-large-scale secondary architectural design in this stage. In the planning of XIFEI NO.1 high school, according to school development trends and learning from the advanced foreign countries, with systematic design methods and design concept of "schools within a school, resource sharing and walking system", the rational design of functional configuration and spatial organization for school buildings has been accomplished. In this plan, the core of the school is established with the multifunctional library and resource center, the function modules are established with the grade school districts to build the multi-level space for teaching, communicating and working. This is a positive exploration of the ultra-large boarding school planning and architectural design.

Subject area: Human Resource Management Study level/applicability: Postgraduate business students Learning outcomes The learning objectives to be drawn from the case are as follows: To discuss the challenges of a leader within a resource-constrained environment. Students are required to highlight aspects of transformational leadership and assess the leader against those criteria. To highlight the connection between employee mindset, actions, and organisational performance. Students need to identify the key issues underlying the personnel challenges facing the leader. To explore the influence of leadership on employee engagement. Students should identify the actions taken by the leader to engage employees and analyse the intention behind them, as well as the actual outcomes. To discuss the potential solutions that the leader may institute to achieve the overall transformational objective for the organisation. Case overview/synopsis This case puts students in the shoes of Siya Zwane, the newly appointed principal of Green Acres Primary School in the South Africa’s Eastern Cape. Having recently completed her PhD in education after 10 years of teaching, Zwane is well versed in the best practices for organisational development and eager to apply them in a public school setting. Her leadership is particularly relevant in the context of a struggling school system that faces, among other issues, an economically disadvantaged population, overcrowding in classrooms, poor infrastructure, and a general lack of resources, including qualified staff. As a newcomer to this school system, Zwane learns quickly how these systemic issues manifest in her teaching team and realises that her first priority must be to empower her staff and enhance employee engagement.

Learning outcomes This trio of cases is appropriate for upper-level undergraduate classes or for postgraduate programs in non-profit management, leadership and community development, international development, global studies, women’s and gender studies and social entrepreneurship. It allows the instructors and students to engage with classical leadership tenets and emerging social entrepreneurship literature. Upon completion of the case study discussion and assignments, students will be able to: identify diverse obstacles that African women face in starting social enterprises; understand the ways that African women leaders build a social dimension to their enterprise; and identify characteristics of women’s leadership and critique the value of women’s leadership for establishing sustainable social enterprises. Case overview/synopsis The case stories of the three African social enterprises portray how female leaders have fostered sustainable organisations through prioritising social, over economic and governance investments. Martha Letsoalo, a former domestic worker, founded the Heartfelt Project in South Africa, which now employs fifteen women, ships products all around the world and enriches the community of Makapanstad with its workshop, training and education centre. Victoria Nalongo Namusisi, daughter of a fisherman in rural Uganda, founded Bright Kids Uganda, a thriving care facility, school and community centre that educates vulnerable children, empowers victims of gender-based violence and distributes micro-loans to female entrepreneurs. Gertrude, abandoned in Lusaka, Zambia, founded Chikumbuso, a home of resilience and remembrance to educate children and offer women employment in a cooperative business. Each case documents the founding years of the social enterprise and outlines some of the shared women’s leadership approaches. The case dilemma focuses on why and how women start social enterprises in socially and economically difficult contexts. Complexity academic level This trio of cases is appropriate for undergraduate or graduate-level programs in non-profit management, leadership and community development, international development, global studies and social entrepreneurship.

Learning outcomes After completing this case, students should be able to: identify and compute relevant cash flows in relation to a real estate project and compute the net present value (NPV). Determine the target return or cost of capital (by looking at historical economic indicators). Design or formulate a sensitivity analysis to determine the drivers of the project value. Evaluate real estate and other investments taking qualitative and quantitative factors into consideration. Demonstrate the computation of a break-even rate to determine the minimum or maximum revenue or cost required for a project to be viable. Case overview/synopsis This case study is about the Golden Beak Securities Pension Fund that wanted to invest in a Hostel Project in one of the universities in Ghana. Most universities in Ghana faced an acute shortage of on-campus accommodation. Also, the Government of Ghana, in 2017, implemented a programme to make Senior High School in Ghana free. This was expected to increase the number of students who will enter the existing universities. The project was therefore seen as strategic, as it would help ease the pressure of on-campus accommodation while providing diversification for the pension fund. As part of the investment committee’s (IC) quest to improve the skill set available to it, especially in relation to real estate investments, Esi Abebrese was appointed as one of the members of the IC of GSB. Her main task was to collect information on key macroeconomic variables, as well as granular information on project costs and revenues and conduct investment appraisal. Esi was scheduled to make a presentation to the IC on the 15th of October 2019 following which the Committee will debate and make a decision. The project had an estimated cost of GH¢52m with a total number of 3,424 student beds and ancillary facilities. Undertaking the project required moving funds from investments in money market securities with one of the banks in Ghana. The investments in the money market securities were currently yielding about 16% a year. The determination of the cost of capital was critical and Esi and Nana eventually settled on a long-term weighted average cost of capital of 14%. This was after considering the trend of inflation, monetary policy rates, treasury rates, stock market returns and a report on returns on commercial real estate properties in Ghana. An exit capitalisation rate of 20% was also estimated for the purposes of determining the value of the property at the end of the investment horizon. Esi also obtained estimates of cost and revenue for the project and proceeded to carry out a feasibility analysis on the project. This consisted of an NPV analysis and sensitivity analysis on various factors to determine the drivers of the project value. The IC had to take several factors (both quantitative and qualitative) into consideration before making a decision. Esi believed that these factors included the diversification of the fund’s assets, the return on investment, potential oversupply of hostel accommodation, the social responsibility of providing student accommodation and the impact of any prolonged shutdown of the university.

"Optimization of the network of general secondary education institutions in the conditions of decentralization: geographical aspect." Human Geography Journal, no. 28 (2020). http://dx.doi.org/10.26565/2076-1333-2020-28-07.
Full textAbstract:
Decentralization reform includes a number of other reforms, including education reform, which is one of the most important. The main results of the reform of secondary education are: the introduction of the New Ukrainian School, the change of the system of management and financing of institutions, as well as the creation of educational districts and basic schools. Optimization of the network of general secondary education institutions (GSEI) is an important element on the way to quality educational services. When optimizing the network of GSEI, it is necessary to take into account a number of factors, among which the most important are: quality of transport routes, distance of transportation of students, number of students who will need transportation, material and technical base of institutions (availability of computer classes, gym and classrooms), staffing of the library fund, the quality of teaching staff and others. As of September,1 2019 there were 402 educational establishments with 105483 students in Chernivtsi oblast. Currently, 14 basic educational institutions and 22 branches have been established in Chernivtsi oblast. Among the raions, the largest number of basic educational institutions have been established in Hertsa raion. No basic educational institutions have been established in Putyla and Hlyboka raions, as well as in the city of Chernivtsi. A total of 7,354 students study in basic institutions and their branches. To test the method of optimization of the network of GSEI, we chose Kitsman raion of Chernivtsi oblast, which is optimal for the oblast and Ukraine in general on various indicators: demographic characteristics; the size of the raion; features of the transport network; the number of GSEI and students enrolled in them and others. Currently, there are 2 basic institutions and 2 branches in Kitsman raion. After analyzing a number of indicators (level of institutions, peculiarities of the institution location, number of students who will need transportation, area of student premises, material and technical base, staffing of the library fund, qualification of pedagogical staff and quality of graduates’ knowledge), we propose to optimize Kitsman raion network of GSEI, by means of establishing of 12 educational districts, 11 basic institutions and 26 branches. In most educational districts of Kitsman raion we propose to create one basic institution, only in Kitsman educational district – two, and in Shypyntsi and Luzhany educational districts not to create any basic institution at the moment.

Full textAbstract:
This study veers from the traditional perspective of examining school efficiency or productivity as a cost minimizing process, in which educational inputs are minimized to achieve maximum outputs (student performance). Instead, it provides a critical examination of the dominant, cost minimizing assumption associated with efficiency models and suggest schools instead behave similarly to budget maximizers as presented in Niskanen’s (1971) seminal budget maximizing framework. The study examines the relationship between total student expenditures and subsequent student outcomes, establishing the relative efficiency of Texas school districts using stochastic frontier analysis within a budget-maximizing framework. Additionally, the study investigates how special education populations are structured within those districts deemed efficient or inefficient.
The results of the study concluded that district efficient type did not result in different educational outcomes for students with disabilities. While analysis revealed that inefficient districts spend almost twice as much as efficient districts, no other significant differences were identified among districts type based on the percentage of students receiving special education or student performance. This study contributes to the growing need to identify more appropriate estimation techniques for measuring school productivity and how students with special needs should be included in the education productivity conversation.
