Consider the following scenario:
Deer Valley Lodge, a ski resort in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah, has plans to eventually add five new chairlifts. Suppose that one lift costs $2 million, and preparing the slope and installing the lift costs another $1.3 million. The lift will allow 300 additional skiers on the slopes, but there are only 40 days a year when the extra capacity will be needed. (Assume that Deer Valley Lodge will sell all 300 lift tickets on those 40 days.) Running the new lift will cost $500 a day for the entire 200 days the lodge is open. Assume that the lift tickets at Deer Valley cost $55 a day. The new lift has an economic life of 20 years.
Assume that the before-tax required rate of return for Deer Valley is 14%. Compute the before-tax NPV of the new lift and advise the managers of Deer Valley about whether adding the lift will be a profitable investment. Show calculations to support your answer.
Assume that the after-tax required rate of return for Deer Valley is 8%, the income tax rate is 40%, and the MACRS recovery period is 10 years. Compute the after-tax NPV of the new lift and advise the managers of Deer Valley about whether adding the lift will be a profitable investment. Show calculations to support your answer.
What subjective factors would affect the investment decision?

The referral assignment components
Write a word report, which applies relationship marketing theory to address a problem, opportunity or other issue in an organisation of your choice. This may be a reworking of your original submission, or a completely new piece of work. You must also submit a reflective statement of no more than 500 words, explaining how you have responded to the marker’s feedback on your original submission.
Submission
There are two assessed items for submission:
1. A 500 word reflective statement that accounts for 10% of the marks in this module
2. A 3000 word report that accounts for 90% of the marks in this module
Submission Deadlines
• Your report and reflective statement should be submitted by 2pm Tuesday, 14th July 2015. This assessment should be submitted electronically via Blackboard in MS Word format.
The following information is standard across all coursework:• It is your responsibility to submit coursework in the format stipulated by your tutor. For this assignment, it is a Microsoft Word file attachment with a .doc or .docx file extension.
• Your marks will be affected if your tutor cannot open or properly view your submission (for example, if you did not follow instructions on acceptable file formats).
• Each upload attempt must contain the complete coursework submission. If you need to submit multiple files, make sure all files are attached to each submission you make.
• Your tutor will only have access to your most recent submission and the file(s) attached to this submission.
• You can submit as many times as you like, up to end of the 24-hour late submission period; only the last successful submission will be marked. If your last successful submission is made in the 24-hour late work submission window, your submission will be classed as late, even if you have made previous submissions prior to the deadline.
• Do not leave submission to the very last minute. Always allow time for technical issues.
• The date and time of your submission is taken from the Blackboard server and is recorded when your submission is complete, not when you click Submit.

“The different theories of organisational change invite us to pay attention to

many facets of the same phenomenon. By doing so, two different theories of

organisational change can often provide us different interpretations of any given

situation”. Discuss this statement in relation to a concrete case of organisational

change.
