In 1996, McDonald’s (MD) launched Campaign 55, reducing the prices ofits “flagship” sandwiches with the objective of regaining market share. Beforethe launch, suppose MD’s management envisioned two possible outcomes: astrong customer response or a weak response. Industry experts were notvery optimistic about the campaign. They assessed the probability of a strong response to be .40. MD predicted an expected profit of $50 million if theresponse proved to be strong. If the immediate customer response was weak,management believed that all was not lost. If MD could persuade themajority of its franchisees to back and help fund the campaign, the resultingprofit would be $20 million.

1. Read the case below. Develop a theoretical frame work and show by a figure. State hypotheses involved in this model. Incidence of smoking in movies has started to increase again, after having declined for several decades. According to the National Cancer Institute, smoking is seen in at least three out of four contemporary box-office hits. What’s more, identifiable cigarette brands appeared in about one-third of all movies in 2008. Exposure to smoking in movies is an important predictor of adolescent smoking initiation: smoking in movies has been shown to affect adolescents’ intentions to start smoking. In turn, the intentions to start smoking are determined by a more positive attitudetoward smoking after seeing a film character smoke. Recent research has revealed that the relationship between seeing a film character smoke and the attitude toward smoking is stronger when a person’s identification with a film character increases. These findings are consistent with social learning…

An information system (IS) auditor was asked to review the alignment between information technology (IT) and business goals for Cachero, a small but rapidly growing financial institution. The IS auditor requested information including business and IT goals and objectives; however, these were limited to a short, bulleted list for business goals and PowerPoint slides used in reporting meetings for IT goals. It was also found in the documentation provided that over the past two (2) years, the risk management committee (composed of senior management) met on only three (3) occasions, and no minutes of what was discussed were kept for these meetings. When the IT budget for the upcoming year was compared to the strategic plans for IT, it was noted that several of the initiatives mentioned in the plans for the upcoming year were not included in the budget for that year. The IS auditor also discovered that Cachero does not have a full-time chief information officer (CIO). The organizational…
