Financial Impact Case Study Paper January 25, 2015 Financial Impact Case Study Paper According to Coyle, Gibson, Langley, & Novack (2013); “a major financial objective for any organization is to produce a satisfactory return for stockholders; the supply chain plays a critical role in determining the level of profitability in an organization” (pp. 154-155). Culp (2012) stated: “Global supply chains can increase efficiency, but they can also increase risk; The integration of risk management into supply chain management has often been limited, especially for organizations that have focused on reducing costs and limiting working capital levels as a response to difficult market conditions” (Para 1-3). In the case of CPDW the supply chain decisions regarding the type and number of warehouses utilized impacted their fixed assets.

Case: AXA MONY Question 1: Why is AXA bidding for MONY? Does the deal make sense for AXA; for MONY shareholders; for mgmt? As a MONY shareholder, what are your concerns about the deal? For AXA • Growth: Horizontal merger, AXA’s sales force in US by 25% → hard to achieve organically • Cross-marketing → Distribution systems complementary, and products (AXA strong in the variable annuity marketplace and having some new life products that could be offered by MONY’s sales force) • Bidder share price increased following the announcement; looks like the market is positive as well.

While this target is within reason, it also can be construed as aggressive considering the company’s liquidity concerns and target for a one year ROI. As such, I have illustrated a suite of options/recommendations below. Analysis Option 1 – Aggressive Growth Given the 11.4% requirement (above 10% anticipated figure from other statistical work), pursuing the expansion into all 5 new locations would yield a strong return, but requires a significant financial investment and has a greater likelihood of not achieving the 1 year ROI. However, the blitz marketing could result in first mover advantage and with the correct talent acquisition on the sales and management team achieving 11.4% is not unrealistic either. Pros | Cons | First mover advantage | Potential for longer than 1 year ROI | Blitz Marketing | Significant investment (finances and people) | Talent Acquisition & Growth Opportunity | Talent Sourcing Challenge | Greater Risk = Greater Reward | Greater Risk | Option 2 – Moderate Growth An option could also be to explore opening 3 or 4 locations rather than all 5.
