Business case study
I’m working on a Business case study and need support to help me understand better.
Business Case

The Beer Game-Systems Thinking
As you read over the Beer Game in P. Senge’s book, The Fifth Discipline, think of yourself as one of the four positions: retailer, wholesaler, distributor, and factory. After you are done reading, answer these questions:
What position are you?
Did you feel yourself “at the effect” of forces in the system from time to time? (i.e. relatively helpless in the face of huge incoming orders or excess inventories)
Did you find yourself “blaming” the position next to you for your problems?
What do you think the customers were doing?
Is this an example of external events causing problems or the underlying structure of the system
Organizational strategy
For this homework assignment, you will develop a supporting human resource (HR) plan for an organizational strategy. In a paper of three to four pages (750-1000 words) of text, offer your ideas for a promising HR assignment, development plan, and sustainment plan to support the strategy of an organization expanding to open offices in sub-Sahara Africa. Drawing from appropriate sources, develop a scenario that provides the business of the organization, identify how much expansion is taking place, and identify the countries in which the expansion is taking place.
A useful starting point is estimating the total number of relocating employees that can be supported in the host country.
Will the organization need to establish a commissary (for grocery purchases), banking and currency exchange, and limited urgent-care stations?
Should the organization set assignment lengths of one year or two with families? What does research say is the optimal time period?
