The highly contagious novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 also called coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is
a global health emergency of unprecedented proportions. The ongoing loss of life globally as well as the virus’
ability to spread rapidly through communities, has generated a need for significant changes to the foundations
of the well and least developed countries. In the last few months, political leaders globally have been making
new announcements to respond to COVID-19 impacts, on both people and the economy. These have been crucial
steps to ensure public safety and financial stabilization. As it stands now, nobody knows how long this crisis
will last, but we do know that when it finally recedes our world will look very different. This crisis has not just
created new disasters, it has exposed the flaws of our existing system. Several leaders have done well including
few female leaders like Taiwan’s president, Tsai Ing-wen; New Zealand’s prime minister, Jacinda Ardern; the
German chancellor, Angela Merkel; and Denmark’s prime minister Mette Frederiksen.
In the case of Ghana, the Ghanaian government has so far followed a step-by-step model, including initiating
travel restrictions outside the country, restrictions on events and on places of social gathering including
churches, schools, restaurants, theatres and gyms and now currently just lifted a 21-day partial locked down in
two of the most affected regions in Ghana. Inequality in Ghana meant that now, in this time of deep need, we
risk sacrificing the health and safety of vulnerable people for whom the social safety net has been weakened.
Several proposals, both economic and health related are suggested to assist the entire nation. Health care
workers and security personnel have become heroes. Government has been asked to show leadership in
transforming or restoring the economy to one that works toward well-being for all as it takes steps to gradually
relax the restrictions. It is believed that the brighter side to the crisis is the momentum and opportunity to shift
our systems to prioritize our care and wellbeing in the long run.
a. Explain how decisional and informational roles of leaders can influence the effective management of
the COVID-19 crisis in Ghana. (4 marks)
b. In the management of the health crisis, how can technical, human, and conceptual skills be relevant for
the Minister of health to enable him rally around health workers? (4 marks)
c. The internal and external environment will cause changes for companies in Ghana (Large, Medium, and
small-Scale Enterprises) during this crisis. Explain (4 marks)
d. Discuss two (2) ways by which transformational leadership style can be relevant to the management of
the crisis at all levels of management. (4 marks)
e. Explain four (4) ways by which scientific management play a role in the management of a modern crisis
such as the COVID-19.

Since Ben Holt, Blades’ chief financial officer (CFO),
believes the growth potential for the roller blade market
in Thailand is very high, he, together with Blades’
board of directors, has decided to invest in Thailand.
The investment would involve establishing a subsidiary
in Bangkok consisting of a manufacturing plant to produce
Speedos, Blades’ high-quality roller blades. Holt
believes that economic conditions in Thailand will be
relatively strong in 10 years, when he expects to sell the
subsidiary.
Blades will continue exporting to the United Kingdom
under an existing agreement with Jogs, Ltd., a
British retailer. Furthermore, it will continue its sales
in the United States. Under an existing agreement with
Entertainment Products, Inc., a Thai retailer, Blades is
committed to selling 180,000 pairs of Speedos to the
retailer at a fixed price of 4,594 Thai baht per pair.
Once operations in Thailand commence, the agreement
will last another year, at which time it may be renewed.
Thus, during its first year of operations in Thailand,
Blades will sell 180,000 pairs of roller blades to Entertainment
Products under the existing agreement
whether it has operations in the country or not. If it
establishes the plant in Thailand, Blades will produce
108,000 of the 180,000 Entertainment Products
Speedos at the plant during the last year of the agreement.
Therefore, the new subsidiary would need to
import 72,000 pairs of Speedos from the United States
so that it can accommodate its agreement with Entertainment
Products. It will save the equivalent of 300
baht per pair in variable costs on the 108,000 pairs
not previously manufactured in Thailand.
Entertainment Products has already declared its
willingness to renew the agreement for another 3
years under identical terms. Because of recent delivery
delays, however, it is willing to renew the agreement
only if Blades has operations in Thailand. Moreover,
if Blades has a subsidiary in Thailand, Entertainment Products will keep renewing the existing agreement as
long as Blades operates in Thailand. If the agreement is
renewed, Blades expects to sell a total of 300,000 pairs
of Speedos annually during its first 2 years of operation
in Thailand to various retailers, including 180,000 pairs
to Entertainment Products. After this time, it expects to
sell 400,000 pairs annually (including 180,000 to Entertainment
Products). If the agreement is not renewed,
Blades will be able to sell only 5,000 pairs to Entertainment
Products annually, but not at a fixed price. Thus,
if the agreement is not renewed, Blades expects to sell a
total of 125,000 pairs of Speedos annually during its
first 2 years of operation in Thailand and 225,000
pairs annually thereafter. Pairs not sold under the contractual
agreement with Entertainment Products will be
sold for 5,000 Thai baht per pair, since Entertainment
Products had required a lower price to compensate it
for the risk of being unable to sell the pairs it purchased
from Blades.
Holt wishes to analyze the financial feasibility of
establishing a subsidiary in Thailand. As a Blades’
financial analyst, you have been given the task of analyzing
the proposed project. Since future economic
conditions in Thailand are highly uncertain, Holt has
also asked you to conduct some sensitivity analyses.
Fortunately, he has provided most of the information
you need to conduct a capital budgeting analysis. This
information is detailed here:
¦ The building and equipment needed will cost
550 million Thai baht. This amount includes
additional funds to support working capital.
¦ The plant and equipment, valued at 300 million
baht, will be depreciated using straight-line
depreciation. Thus, 30 million baht will be
depreciated annually for 10 years.
¦ The variable costs needed to manufacture
Speedos are estimated to be 3,500 baht per pair
next year.
¦ Blades’ fixed operating expenses, such as
administrative salaries, will be 25 million baht
next year.
¦ The current spot exchange rate of the Thai baht
is $.023. Blades expects the baht to depreciate by
an average of 2 percent per year for the next
10 years.
¦ The Thai government will impose a 25 percent
tax rate on income and a 10 percent withholding
tax on any funds remitted by the subsidiary to
Blades. Any earnings remitted to the United States
will not be taxed again.
¦ After 10 years, Blades expects to sell its Thai
subsidiary. It expects to sell the subsidiary for
about 650 million baht, after considering any
capital gains taxes.
¦ The average annual inflation in Thailand is
expected to be 12 percent. Unless prices are
contractually fixed, revenue, variable costs, and
fixed costs are subject to inflation and are
expected to change by the same annual rate as
the inflation rate.
Blades could continue its current operations of
exporting to and importing from Thailand, which
have generated a return of about 20 percent. Blades
requires a return of 25 percent on this project in
order to justify its investment in Thailand. All excess
funds generated by the Thai subsidiary will be remitted
to Blades and will be used to support U.S. operations.
Holt has asked you to answer the following questions:
1. Should the sales and the associated costs of
180,000 pairs of roller blades to be sold in Thailand
under the existing agreement be included in the capital
budgeting analysis to decide whether Blades should
establish a subsidiary in Thailand? Should the sales
resulting from a renewed agreement be included? Why
or why not?
2. Using a spreadsheet, conduct a capital budgeting
analysis for the proposed project, assuming that Blades
renews the agreement with Entertainment Products.
Should Blades establish a subsidiary in Thailand under
these conditions?
3. Using a spreadsheet, conduct a capital budgeting
analysis for the proposed project assuming that Blades
does not renew the agreement with Entertainment
Products. Should Blades establish a subsidiary in
Thailand under these conditions? Should Blades renew
the agreement with Entertainment Products?
4. Since future economic conditions in Thailand are
uncertain, Holt would like to know how critical the
salvage value is in the alternative you think is most
feasible.
5. The future value of the baht is highly uncertain.
Under a worst-case scenario, the baht may depreciate
by as much as 5 percent annually. Revise your
spreadsheet to illustrate how this would affect Blades’
decision to establish a subsidiary in Thailand. (Use the
capital budgeting analysis you have identified as the
most favorable from questions 2 and 3 to answer this
question.)
