For numerous months, things had been escalating downwards at Savage Beast, the music-recommendation business started three years before by Tim Westergren. The business's founder-CEO lately left due to pressure both at home and within the venture. Dozens of investor turned thumbs-down on the undertaking; tensions had grown within the founding team, and wages had been cut. Westergren, the founder who has taken over as CEO, is confronting pressures that are even heavier as he finds out about a suit filed by former employees, and he is wondering if it is time to give up on realizing his vision.
Note: The content of this variation is the same as the content in the Savage Beast (A) case (809-069) but comprises two directives in the text to pupils. At the conclusion of page 8, the student is inquired to pause and finish an one-question survey. The "page-8" poll asks, "At this stage, should Tim persist in attempting to establish Savage Beast?" At the conclusion of the case, the student is asked to finish a second survey. The "end-of-case" poll asks, "Should Tim persist in trying to build Savage Beast?" Should you not have polling abilities, you should use the Savage Beast (A) case.
