CBC Video Case: TD Bank Employees May Have Broken Law
Video Clip Synopsis
Some TD Bank employees told CBC News they may have broken the law at their customers’ expense because of the incredible pressure to sell and meet performance targets. As a result of these allegations, some investors and customers are stepping back from TD and others are monitoring the situation closely. Some analysts say the situation may prompt other banks to examine their own practices concerning employee performance targets to avoid potential long-term damage to their brands.
Questions:
1. The allegations of the TD Bank employees in this story suggest that pressure to achieve performance targets has resulted in them breaking the law. What are some other potential undesirable consequences of performance targets or pay-for-performance policies?
2. The video states that investors and customers are watching to see how TD Bank handles the situation and that other banks are as well, and may be prompted to investigate their own performance management practices in order to protect their brand. What are some of the potential HR implications associated with an organization’s brand image?

Formative Evaluations Assignment

Formative evaluations: Are undertaken during feasibility studies and pre-planning, such as before a bid is made, or in the early stages of strategic planning; they include needs assessments, learning about tourist and resident markets, creating attractive products, setting up effective organizations, and new product or marketing ideas.

Assignment Instructions: As you can see there are many documents that can be created during the formative evaluation process. We are going to focus creating the feasibility study itself for this assignment Below are two cases, please choose one. Conduct a feasibility study for the event. Please use the following document as a template. Your assignment should have the following subheadings: Risk, Time, Funding, Support, Staffing, Venue and Equipment and Environment. This is not a bid. Remember, these studies are done before you consider writing a bid for any event.

Assignment File: Feasibility Study Assignment

Case 1: Your city (choose a city) is submitting a bid to host the 2024 International Soccer Tournament. This event will include 15 competition games over 4 days; mid-week to weekend. You are hoping to attract 15,000 spectators for each game; you expect that each game will be sold out. You also anticipate significant media coverage and probably some unruly fans. Alongside the soccer games will be a daytime sports oriented festival held each day of the tournament. The festival will include 200 vendors, a 25 spot food truck food court and a children play area.

Case 2: Your community has decided to create a festival celebrating its cultural heritage in an effort to build tourism during its slowest season. The festival will take place over two weekends and include an opening day parade, over 500 daytime exhibits and activities, 50 food concessions and a 35 participant cook-off competition, and evening entertainment attractions. This first year you expect an attendance of 35,000 local people and 7,000 tourists.

How to write a case

When analyzing cases, it is important to isolate critical facts, evaluate whether assumptions are useful or faulty, and distinguish between good and bad information.

Cases are to be written in essay format, not point form.

When you use tools that require extensive analysis (like the Five Forces or Stakeholder Theory), do the work in an appendix and only talk about the most relevant findings in the body of the text (i.e. the industry forces or stakeholders that matter most to the development of your analysis).

Every case should include each of the following steps (but not as subject headers – incorporate them into a narrative):

  • Identify your role: CEO? Board member? Outside consultant? Etc. One sentence max.
  • Identify the problem: Write a concise problem statement. This should just be one or two sentences, and appear at the very beginning of your work. Use it as a reference point as you proceed through the analysis.

The process of thinking about possible solutions may lead you away from the initial problem. Don’t fall into this trap. Make sure your recommendation actually addresses the problem you have identified.

There generally is not one “correct” problem to be identified. Instead, you are graded based on how well you analyze and solve the problem you chose to work with.

  • Conduct your analysis: Use the analytical tools from the course reading. DO NOT do external research.

The point of the exercise is to see how you apply the tools of the course to a real-world challenge, NOT to see if you can find out what the company actually did. Very often a strong case will make recommendations that are quite different from what the company did because you are working with different information than they were.

The analysis should be the longest section of your write-up. In full-length case studies, at least one full page per tool plus the work you do in the appendix. For the one-page case studies, one paragraph per tool plus the work you do in the appendix will suffice.

Each assigned reading has at least one tool (like shared value, stakeholder theory, five forces, etc.). Use at least two tools. ONLY use tools from our readings, NOT tools from other courses (like SWOT). Furthermore, you must use one of the specific tools assigned in the same week that case is due.

Make sure the tool you use fits the problem – i.e. five forces looks at the industry, while other tools, like those on organizational culture, look within the firm.

Also, ask yourself why you have chosen one type of analysis over another. Assumption checking can also help determine if you have gotten to the heart of the problem or are still just dealing with symptoms.

  • Propose alternative solutions: Generally, three. Make sure each alternative is justified and supported by your analysis.

It is important to remember that in management cases there is rarely one right answer or one best way. Even when members of a class or a team agree on what the problem is, you may not agree on how to solve the problem. Therefore, it is helpful to consider several different solutions.

  • Make recommendations: Choose ONE of the three alternatives.

Describe exactly what needs to be done. Explain why this course of action will solve the problem

The recommendation should also include suggestions for how best to implement the proposed solution because the recommended actions and their implications for the performance and future of the firm are interrelated.

The solution you propose must solve the problem you identified. This point cannot be overemphasized; too often, students make recommendations that treat only symptoms or fail to tackle the central problems in the case. Make a logical argument that shows how the problem led to the analysis and how the analysis led to the recommendations you are proposing.

Remember, an analysis is not an end in itself; it is useful only if it leads to a solution. The actions you propose should describe the very next steps that the company needs to take.
