Decision-making in organizations is fraught with different perspectives. Business students typically specialize in individual business areas by taking a sequence of courses primarily related to specific areas. While such discipline-specific education usually follows a focused approach, students also need to understand the organization level strategic perspective. Moreover, integrating these perspectives and constraints can bring in the use of spreadsheet-based decision aids. This teaching case presents students with a simplified problem that integrates some multiple perspectives and includes an opportunity to use spreadsheet tools in decision-making. Students begin by working in phases to analyze data from the operational perspectives and make recommendations. Students provide a final recommendation by including strategic aspects to arrive at a more holistic solution that would benefit the entire organization.
