Md. Rasel Hoque (19-91232-1) Case Answer
SWOT Analysis:
A SWOT analysis to this problem would make the situation easy to manipulate. We can analyze the
different compartments of the situation by identifying the internal and external factors. The Strengths
and the Weaknesses of the situation are internal factors since they are within the band’s direct
influence. Opportunities and Threats are external problems since the band cannot influence their
creation. They are induced by other factors beyond the band’s reach. We will analyze each segments of
the SWOT to this problem.
Strengths:
1. Numbers in the band are increasing which would give Robin and his men the upper hand when
fighting the Sheriff’s administration.
2. Robin’s close encounters each have specific duties and somewhat organized.
Weakness:
Opportunities:
• The plot to restore power to King Richard will solve the problem to the Sheriff administration’s
schemes from the top cause will be answered and there would be no need to steal from
travelers.
Threats:
In my opinion, Robin Hood’s first priority should be to appropriate structure and organization in the
band. He needs to allot someone in charge of curbing the number of new recruits and seek other ways
of finding provisions for his men. Once all this is done, he needs to take the great risk of assisting the
barons in their mission to rescue King Richard and restore back in power. By doing so, Robin will have
gotten his revenge and will not have to require the band’s presence any longer.
Q.2. Explain the pattern of similarities a modern-day CEO of an organization faces, and that faced
by Robin Hood.
Nothing will change as long as the company continues to do things the same way. The results are
weakened without change. And the current patterns of taxation and abuse of the people will continue
without good leadership. Leadership without greed and lacking in concern for the people is bound to fail
as seen throughout history.
First, he has a PR problem with people who are in place to be investors in his company. The company
seems to find illegal methods to gain access to funding for their projects, though the non-profit status
should have been enough. At least this is the way it seems to outsiders. Because of this marketing and
PR problem, the company is seen as a problem and is the target by local and higher government
agencies. The Leader, RH, fully supports the opposing candidate who is currently jailed for political
reasons.
Additionally, the funding in the area is drying up because of the limited areas in which the company
works. This leads to over use of current benefactors and also has made the company a target of not only
government, but also the wealthy elite, for both business and personal reasons. There are some more
problems that we find in modern day CEO also have faced:
• Unity of Command
• Centralization
• Communication
• Socio- cultural Forces
• Political and Legal Forces
