Strategy: * Several barons would like to release King Richard, so form a alliance with Robin Hood (Merrymen). * Robin Hood spread his group to become larger and larger, even outside Sherwood Forest. * The main objective of Robin Hood is kill sheriff (Defensive). 4. Why not try to end the campaign by killing the Sheriff?
During the pentrich rebellion government spy Oliver persuaded local radicals to march on Nottingham where they were met with troops. This was a dangerous strategy in a time of great civil unrest and could easily create more anger towards the Government, as their actions may have been seen as entrapment. On the other hand the fact there was an attempt by radicals to blow up the cabinet, indicates a serious threat. Also the radical threat was now country wide involving lower and middle classes, thus a spy network was needed and Liverpool cleverly used it to find leaders of radical movements and successfully managed to integrate spies into radical movements. It can also be said the government’s idea to suspend Habeas corpus in 1817 also contributed to the government’s success in dealing with
Case Study 1: Robin Hood 1) What strategic problems does Robin Hood have? Robin had several strategic problems which he had to worry about the campaign that was growing, the disposition of his forces (organizational communication/leadership), the sheriff’s recent moves and growing forces, and the options that confronted him. Also the dire consequences the sheriff was thinking of. One of the main concerns was that profits were diminishing as the group became bigger. Another one is that the group wasn’t the same culture when it first started out, sure it was all to fight against the sheriff, but they started picking up people that sound like they don’t really need to be a part of the group.
One reason is that anytime men are able to take up arms against the local government so that they may improve their lives; they are fooling themselves. A prince will have to do harm those who helped him rise to power because he is forcing them to live with any of the problems he will have taking the principality and holding the acquired territory. Because of these things you are opposed by the people who opposed you from the start and the people who helped you overthrow the territory. It will always be difficult to acquire new territories. New difficulties
So again I ask the question a little bit differently. Why and how did Francisco Pizarro succeed? Well he decided that the best way to attack was to attack them head on. But before he in engaged in any warfare, he had to be a little more informed about his enemy. He learned that the leader of the Incan’s was called Atahualpa, and logically he was the main person to go after.
Sandra Badr Professor Smith MGT 490 March 5, 2012 Midterm – SWOT Analysis Strengths * Strong leadership * Large band of well-trained fighters (Merry men) * Support from Stakeholders (peasants and farmers that also hate the Sheriff) * Merrymen expertise | Weaknesses * Unable to sustain growth because of limited resources * Lack of familiarity with all members of the organization * Robin Hood’s personal vendetta against the Sheriff | Opportunities * Expand into other forests, spreading the base of the revenue * Free King Richard * Join the barons | Threats * Sheriff getting stronger with increased competition * Prince John’s paranoia, causes him to act irrational * Bargaining power of suppliers | In analyzing the Robin Hood case and placing it into a business context, it is run like a typical top-down management style, with Robin Hood as the CEO. Many of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats the Merrymen have are closely related, if not a direct result of each other. Using the differentiation approach, the Merrymen rob from the rich and give to the poor, which differentiates the group from any other competition. The group’s main strength lies in their leader, Robin Hood. Being a strong leader is very important when organizing a group of this caliber.
It will show the world even our worst enemy deserves rights under our constitution and a better quality of life by keeping the Gitmo Detention Center open. If the facility was closed it would let these dangerous masterminds free to pick up where they left off. These same activist want to shut down Guantanamo Bay’s detention center without thinking of the consequences, closing the detention center will put our country’s safety at risk. The methods used in the detention center are legal and help obtain critical information about attacks against the United States. Taking away the freedom to use certain interrogation methods could obstruct the extraction of integral knowledge.
Another reason it affects the community is because stores often raise their prices, which then causes more shoplifting. It’s unfair to the people who don’t shoplift because they either have to pay more for the product or go somewhere else to shop. It can also affect you towards the community because if you have shoplifting on your record, it could be difficult to get a job. Especially in retail and the store you stole from. Community service is also an inconvenience to shoplifters that get caught.
This has caused many problems for Robin Hood. Discipline was becoming harder to enforce because of the sheer size of the group. The group is also faced with lower revenue and increased costs. The organization was beginning to exceed the food capacity of the forest so supplies had to be obtained from outlying villages. Some of the other issues that Robin Hood is faced with are whether or not to impose a fixed transit tax, what to do about the growing strength of the Sheriff, and if he should accept the Barons offer to join in freeing King Richard.
Mandela realized that eliminating the Sprinboks would have driven the racial tension higher forcing him to take charge and keep that from happening. If we switch over to Francois Pienaar, we see that he too is able to take charge and lead by example. He tells the Springboks to read and memorize South Africa’s national anthem.
