Elon Musk’s Twitter Takeover: Lessons in Strategic Change
In late October 2022, Elon Musk officially took Twitter private and became the company’s majority shareholder, finally ending a months-long acquisition saga. He appointed himself CEO and brought in his own team to clean house. Musk needed to take decisive steps to succeed against the major opposition to his leadership from both inside and outside the company. Twitter employees circulated an open letter protesting expected layoffs, advertising agencies advised their clients to pause spending on Twitter, and EU officials considered a broader Twitter ban. What short-term actions should Musk take to stabilize the situation, and how should he approach long-term strategy to turn around Twitter? Harvard Business School assistant professor Andy Wu and co-author Goran Calic, associate professor at McMaster University’s DeGroote School of Business, discuss Twitter as a microcosm for the future of media and information in their case, “Twitter Turnaround and Elon Musk.”

The Opioid Crisis, CEO Pay, and Shareholder Activism
In 2020, AmerisourceBergen Corporation, a Fortune 50 company in the drug distribution industry, agreed to settle thousands of lawsuits filed nationwide against the company for its opioid distribution practices, which critics alleged had contributed to the opioid crisis in the US. The $6.6 billion global settlement caused a net loss larger than the cumulative net income earned during the tenure of the company’s CEO, which began in 2011. In addition, AmerisourceBergen’s legal and financial troubles were accompanied by shareholder demands aimed at driving corporate governance changes in companies in the opioid supply chain. Determined to hold the company’s leadership accountable, the shareholders launched a campaign in early 2021 to reject the pay packages of executives. Should the board reduce the executives’ pay, as of means of improving accountability? Or does punishing the AmerisourceBergen executives for paying the settlement ignore the larger issue of a business’s responsibility to society? Harvard Business School professor Suraj Srinivasan discusses executive compensation and shareholder activism in the context of the US opioid crisis in his case, “The Opioid Settlement and Controversy Over CEO Pay at AmerisourceBergen.”

A Rose by Any Other Name: Supply Chains and Carbon Emissions in the Flower Industry
Headquartered in Kitengela, Kenya, Sian Flowers exports roses to Europe. Because cut flowers have a limited shelf life and consumers want them to retain their appearance for as long as possible, Sian and its distributors used international air cargo to transport them to Amsterdam, where they were sold at auction and trucked to markets across Europe. But when the Covid-19 pandemic caused huge increases in shipping costs, Sian launched experiments to ship roses by ocean using refrigerated containers. The company reduced its costs and cut its carbon emissions, but is a flower that travels halfway around the world truly a “low-carbon rose”? Harvard Business School professors Willy Shih and Mike Toffel debate these questions and more in their case, “Sian Flowers: Fresher by Sea?”

They often rely heavily on historical data, which may not provide a complete picture of the rapidly changing landscape. Additionally, traditional finance may not have access to real-time information, making it difficult to make timely decisions. Moreover, traditional financial methods have limited predictive capabilities , making it challenging to forecast future financial trends accurately.
“Traditional financial practices are rooted in historical data, which may not reflect the current realities of the business world. This historical focus limits their ability to capture the dynamic nature of today’s markets.”
Without access to real-time information, traditional financial practices may lack the necessary insights to respond promptly to market changes. This limitation can hinder decision-making by relying on outdated data.
The limited predictive capabilities of traditional finance also pose challenges for businesses. Forecasting financial trends accurately is crucial for effective planning and resource allocation . However, traditional financial methods may struggle to provide accurate predictions, leading to potential risks and missed opportunities.
Impact of Limitations:
The limitations of traditional financial practices can have significant repercussions for businesses. The reliance on historical data may result in missed market trends and opportunities, hindering growth and innovation. The lack of real-time information further hampers agility and adaptability in decision-making.
Moreover, limited predictive capabilities can hamper financial planning and resource allocation, leading to inefficient use of resources and potential financial risks. In today’s rapidly changing business landscape, organizations need real-time and predictive insights to make informed decisions and proactively navigate uncertainties.
The Evolution of Strategic Finance
Strategic finance has undergone a significant evolution, transforming from a supportive function to a strategic enabler for businesses.

The integration of technology and data analytics has revolutionized strategic finance, enabling finance professionals to analyze large volumes of data, generate meaningful insights, and make informed decisions. The advent of predictive modeling has also allowed organizations to forecast future trends and optimize resource allocation.

Technology has empowered finance professionals to move beyond traditional methods and leverage advanced techniques such as predictive modeling . With predictive modeling , organizations can anticipate future scenarios and make proactive decisions to optimize resource allocation, mitigate risks, and drive financial performance.
Predictive modeling involves the use of statistical algorithms and historical data to forecast future trends and outcomes. By analyzing patterns and relationships within the data, finance professionals can make data-driven predictions and develop strategies to capitalize on emerging opportunities or mitigate potential risks. This enables organizations to make informed decisions that align with their strategic objectives and enhance their competitive advantage.
The integration of predictive modeling and other advanced technologies into strategic finance has led to significant improvements in decision-making processes. Finance professionals can now assess risks more accurately, evaluate the potential impact of different scenarios, and make informed choices that align with the organization’s strategic goals. This has transformed strategic finance from a reactive function focused on historical analysis to a proactive enabler of business success.
The Benefits of Strategic Decision Support
Strategic decision support is one of the key benefits of the evolution of strategic finance . By leveraging advanced technologies and predictive modeling, finance professionals can provide valuable insights and recommendations to support strategic decision-making processes. This enables organizations to align their financial strategies with their overall business goals and make informed choices that drive long-term success.
The evolution of strategic finance has not only transformed the role of finance professionals but has also contributed to improved business outcomes. With the integration of technology, predictive modeling, and strategic decision support , organizations can navigate the complexities of the modern business landscape and make data-driven decisions that drive financial performance and long-term success.
Leading in Complex Environments to Execute Strategy
Technology companies, especially those with iconic founders, face cultural challenges as they grow and mature. The transition from a singular “visionary leader” style to distributed leadership can be challenging. In complex environments , leaders need to develop the skills and mindset to translate strategy, assess risk, make decisions, and ensure execution at marketplace speed.
“In complex environments, leaders need to develop the skills and mindset to translate strategy, assess risk, make decisions, and ensure execution at marketplace speed.”
This section will explore a case study of a leading technology company that implemented a program to help senior managers better understand risk and own decisions to drive business results.
Steps to Developing an Effective Strategic Finance Plan
Developing an effective strategic finance plan involves several steps that align financial goals with the overall business objectives. This ensures that organizations can navigate towards their future direction and achieve long-term success. Successful strategic finance planning requires a systematic approach that encompasses various aspects such as goal setting, resource allocation, and fostering a collaborative culture within the organization.
- Identify the future direction: Organizations need to clearly define their future direction and establish tangible goals and targets. This includes understanding market trends, evaluating competitive landscape, and identifying growth opportunities. By aligning financial goals with the broader business objectives, organizations can create a roadmap for success.
- Define clear goals and targets: Once the future direction is determined, it is essential to break it down into specific goals and targets. This allows organizations to measure progress and course-correct if necessary. Clear goals provide a sense of direction and help prioritize financial decisions.
- Optimize resource allocation: Resource allocation is a crucial aspect of strategic finance planning. Organizations must assess their existing resources and identify areas where optimization is possible. This involves evaluating the allocation of financial resources, human capital, and technological infrastructure. By making efficient use of resources, organizations can maximize their financial performance.
- Seek additional resources when needed: In some cases, organizations may need to secure additional resources to support their strategic finance plan. This could involve seeking external funding, partnerships, or exploring new revenue streams. It is essential to evaluate the financial feasibility and potential returns of acquiring additional resources.
- Create a collaborative culture: Fostering a collaborative culture is key to the successful implementation of a strategic finance plan. Collaboration encourages cross-functional teamwork and knowledge-sharing, enabling better decision-making and bringing diverse perspectives to the table. A collaborative culture also promotes transparency, accountability, and open communication.
By following these steps, organizations can develop an effective strategic finance plan that aligns financial goals with the future direction of the business. This ensures optimal resource allocation, fosters a collaborative culture, and facilitates informed decision-making, ultimately driving the organization towards long-term success.
The Role of Decision-Making and Risk in Strategic Finance
Decision-making and risk management are critical components of strategic finance. Effective decision-making involves assessing risks, making informed choices, and evaluating potential outcomes. By carefully weighing the available information and considering various factors, finance professionals can make decisions that align with the organization’s strategic objectives.
“Strategic decision-making requires a comprehensive understanding of the risks involved and the impact they may have on the organization’s financial performance.” – John Smith, CFO of XYZ Corporation
Risk management solutions play a vital role in strategic finance by helping organizations identify, assess, and mitigate potential risks. These solutions enable businesses to proactively manage risks that can impact financial performance, such as market volatility, regulatory changes, and economic uncertainties. By implementing robust risk management practices, organizations can minimize potential losses and protect their financial well-being.
Strategic communication also plays a crucial role in decision-making within the realm of strategic finance. It involves effectively conveying financial information, insights, and recommendations to internal and external stakeholders. When finance professionals can articulate the rationale behind financial decisions in a clear and concise manner, stakeholders can better understand the strategic implications and align their actions accordingly.
Connecting decision-making to business results is essential in strategic finance. By measuring the outcomes and impact of financial decisions, organizations can assess the effectiveness of their strategic finance initiatives and adjust their approach if necessary. This connection ensures that financial decisions are not made in isolation but are directed towards achieving specific business goals and driving overall success.
Benefits of Effective Decision-Making and Risk Management in Strategic Finance
When decision-making and risk management are integrated into strategic finance processes, organizations can experience several benefits, including:
- Increased confidence in decision-making: By considering risks and potential outcomes, finance professionals can make well-informed decisions that align with organizational goals.
- Enhanced financial performance: Effective risk management helps mitigate potential losses and maximize financial performance, contributing to overall business success.
- Improved stakeholder trust: Strategic communication fosters transparency and understanding, building trust among stakeholders and strengthening relationships.
- Alignment of financial decisions with business objectives: Connecting decision-making to business results ensures that financial initiatives support the organization’s strategic direction.
In conclusion, decision-making and risk management are integral parts of strategic finance. By assessing risks, making informed choices, and connecting financial decisions to business results, organizations can navigate uncertainties, drive financial performance, and achieve their strategic objectives.

Top 40 Most Popular Case Studies of 2017
We generated a list of the 40 most popular Yale School of Management case studies in 2017 by combining data from our publishers, Google analytics, and other measures of interest and adoption. In compiling the list, we gave additional weight to usage outside Yale
We generated a list of the 40 most popular Yale School of Management case studies in 2017 by combining data from our publishers, Google analytics, and other measures of interest and adoption. In compiling the list, we gave additional weight to usage outside Yale.
Case topics represented on the list vary widely, but a number are drawn from the case team’s focus on healthcare, asset management, and sustainability. The cases also draw on Yale’s continued emphasis on corporate governance, ethics, and the role of business in state and society. Of note, nearly half of the most popular cases feature a woman as either the main protagonist or, in the case of raw cases where multiple characters take the place of a single protagonist, a major leader within the focal organization. While nearly a fourth of the cases were written in the past year, some of the most popular, including Cadbury and Design at Mayo, date from the early years of our program over a decade ago. Nearly two-thirds of the most popular cases were “raw” cases - Yale’s novel, web-based template which allows for a combination of text, documents, spreadsheets, and videos in a single case website.
Read on to learn more about the top 10 most popular cases followed by a complete list of the top 40 cases of 2017. A selection of the top 40 cases are available for purchase through our online store .
#1 - Coffee 2016
Faculty Supervision: Todd Cort
Coffee 2016 asks students to consider the coffee supply chain and generate ideas for what can be done to equalize returns across various stakeholders. The case draws a parallel between coffee and wine. Both beverages encourage connoisseurship, but only wine growers reap a premium for their efforts to ensure quality. The case describes the history of coffee production across the world, the rise of the “third wave” of coffee consumption in the developed world, the efforts of the Illy Company to help coffee growers, and the differences between “fair” trade and direct trade. Faculty have found the case provides a wide canvas to discuss supply chain issues, examine marketing practices, and encourage creative solutions to business problems.
#2 - AXA: Creating New Corporate Responsibility Metrics
Faculty Supervision: Todd Cort and David Bach
The case describes AXA’s corporate responsibility (CR) function. The company, a global leader in insurance and asset management, had distinguished itself in CR since formally establishing a CR unit in 2008. As the case opens, AXA’s CR unit is being moved from the marketing function to the strategy group occasioning a thorough review as to how CR should fit into AXA’s operations and strategy. Students are asked to identify CR issues of particular concern to the company, examine how addressing these issues would add value to the company, and then create metrics that would capture a business unit’s success or failure in addressing the concerns.
#3 - IBM Corporate Service Corps
Faculty Supervision: David Bach in cooperation with University of Ghana Business School and EGADE
The case considers IBM’s Corporate Service Corps (CSC), a program that had become the largest pro bono consulting program in the world. The case describes the program’s triple-benefit: leadership training to the brightest young IBMers, brand recognition for IBM in emerging markets, and community improvement in the areas served by IBM’s host organizations. As the program entered its second decade in 2016, students are asked to consider how the program can be improved. The case allows faculty to lead a discussion about training, marketing in emerging economies, and various ways of providing social benefit. The case highlights the synergies as well as trade-offs between pursuing these triple benefits.
#4 - Cadbury: An Ethical Company Struggles to Insure the Integrity of Its Supply Chain
Faculty Supervision: Ira Millstein
The case describes revelations that the production of cocoa in the Côte d’Ivoire involved child slave labor. These stories hit Cadbury especially hard. Cadbury's culture had been deeply rooted in the religious traditions of the company's founders, and the organization had paid close attention to the welfare of its workers and its sourcing practices. The US Congress was considering legislation that would allow chocolate grown on certified plantations to be labeled “slave labor free,” painting the rest of the industry in a bad light. Chocolate producers had asked for time to rectify the situation, but the extension they negotiated was running out. Students are asked whether Cadbury should join with the industry to lobby for more time? What else could Cadbury do to ensure its supply chain was ethically managed?
#5 - 360 State Real Options
Faculty Supervision: Matthew Spiegel
In 2010 developer Bruce Becker (SOM ‘85) completed 360 State Street, a major new construction project in downtown New Haven. Just west of the apartment building, a 6,000-square-foot pocket of land from the original parcel remained undeveloped. Becker had a number of alternatives to consider in regards to the site. He also had no obligation to build. He could bide his time. But Becker worried about losing out on rents should he wait too long. Students are asked under what set of circumstances and at what time would it be most advantageous to proceed?
#6 - Design at Mayo
Faculty Supervision: Rodrigo Canales and William Drentell
The case describes how the Mayo Clinic, one of the most prominent hospitals in the world, engaged designers and built a research institute, the Center for Innovation (CFI), to study the processes of healthcare provision. The case documents the many incremental innovations the designers were able to implement and the way designers learned to interact with physicians and vice-versa.
In 2010 there were questions about how the CFI would achieve its stated aspiration of “transformational change” in the healthcare field. Students are asked what would a major change in health care delivery look like? How should the CFI's impact be measured? Were the center's structure and processes appropriate for transformational change? Faculty have found this a great case to discuss institutional obstacles to innovation, the importance of culture in organizational change efforts, and the differences in types of innovation.
This case is freely available to the public.
#7 - Ant Financial
Faculty Supervision: K. Sudhir in cooperation with Renmin University of China School of Business
In 2015, Ant Financial’s MYbank (an offshoot of Jack Ma’s Alibaba company) was looking to extend services to rural areas in China by providing small loans to farmers. Microloans have always been costly for financial institutions to offer to the unbanked (though important in development) but MYbank believed that fintech innovations such as using the internet to communicate with loan applicants and judge their credit worthiness would make the program sustainable. Students are asked whether MYbank could operate the program at scale? Would its big data and technical analysis provide an accurate measure of credit risk for loans to small customers? Could MYbank rely on its new credit-scoring system to reduce operating costs to make the program sustainable?
#8 - Business Leadership in South Africa’s 1994 Reforms
Faculty Supervision: Ian Shapiro
This case examines the role of business in South Africa's historic transition away from apartheid to popular sovereignty. The case provides a previously untold oral history of this key moment in world history, presenting extensive video interviews with business leaders who spearheaded behind-the-scenes negotiations between the African National Congress and the government. Faculty teaching the case have used the material to push students to consider business’s role in a divided society and ask: What factors led business leaders to act to push the country's future away from isolation toward a "high road" of participating in an increasingly globalized economy? What techniques and narratives did they use to keep the two sides talking and resolve the political impasse? And, if business leadership played an important role in the events in South Africa, could they take a similar role elsewhere?
#9 - Shake Shack IPO
Faculty Supervision: Jake Thomas and Geert Rouwenhorst
From an art project in a New York City park, Shake Shack developed a devoted fan base that greeted new Shake Shack locations with cheers and long lines. When Shake Shack went public on January 30, 2015, investors displayed a similar enthusiasm. Opening day investors bid up the $21 per share offering price by 118% to reach $45.90 at closing bell. By the end of May, investors were paying $92.86 per share. Students are asked if this price represented a realistic valuation of the enterprise and if not, what was Shake Shack truly worth? The case provides extensive information on Shake Shack’s marketing, competitors, operations and financials, allowing instructors to weave a wide variety of factors into a valuation of the company.
#10 - Searching for a Search Fund Structure
Faculty Supervision: AJ Wasserstein
This case considers how young entrepreneurs structure search funds to find businesses to take over. The case describes an MBA student who meets with a number of successful search fund entrepreneurs who have taken alternative routes to raising funds. The case considers the issues of partnering, soliciting funds vs. self-funding a search, and joining an incubator. The case provides a platform from which to discuss the pros and cons of various search fund structures.

- Identify the purpose and scope: Clearly define the purpose of the case study and the specific financial issue you want to address. Determine the scope of the study, including the period, entities involved, and relevant financial data.
- Gather information: Collect all relevant financial data and supporting documents related to the case. This may include financial statements, transaction records, market data, industry reports, and any other information necessary for the analysis.
- Describe the background: Provide an overview of the company or individual involved in the case study. Include relevant details such as the company's history, industry , size, key stakeholders, and any recent events or developments that may have a financial impact.
- State the problem or objective: Clearly define the financial problem or objective that needs to be addressed. Identify the key challenges or issues the company or individual faces and explain why they are essential.
- Conduct financial analysis: Analyze the financial data and apply appropriate financial analysis techniques to evaluate the situation. This may involve calculating financial ratios, conducting trend analysis, performing a discounted cash flow analysis, or any other relevant method to gain insights into the financial performance and position of the entity.
- Present findings: Summarize the results of the financial analysis clearly and concisely. Highlight key findings, trends, and any significant financial situation factors. Use graphs, charts, or tables to present data effectively.
- Discuss alternative solutions: Propose different options or strategies to address the financial problem or achieve the objective. Determine the advantages and drawbacks of each solution and provide supporting evidence or calculations to justify your recommendations.
- Make recommendations: Make clear and actionable recommendations based on analyzing and evaluating the alternative solutions. Support your recommendations with logical reasoning and explain how they can improve the financial situation or achieve the desired outcome.
- Provide a conclusion: Summarize the main points of the case study and restate the recommendations. Highlight any potential risks or challenges associated with implementing the proposed solutions.
- Include references and citations: If you have used external sources or references, provide proper citations to give credit to the authors and avoid duplicity or redundancy.
- Edit and proofread: Review the case study for clarity, coherence, and accuracy. Check for any grammatical or spelling errors. Ensure that the document is well-structured and easy to understand.
