Case Study #2 - Jobek do Brasil's Foreign Exchange Challenges (IC#2.4)
Case Study - http://www.mediafire.com/view/l467u1rgpqgpu8c/Attachment_2_-_Jobek_Case_Study.docx
Question 1. How do you evaluate Jobek’s situation from the resource- based and institution-based views? Why have resources and institutions hindered Barny from coping with the foreign exchange situation, but simultaneously helped him turn his company around?
Answer: Clearly Jobek has had to take a fall back position and give up some of its capabilities in order to survive and one of the sources of Jobek’s problems is the Brazilian government changing the rules of the game. Local financial institutions do not have the sophisticated derivatives that could be used to minimize currency risks resulting partly from government policy. The process of turning the company around is far from complete.
