Intro/Overview: Tell me what is happening in the case and give an overview of the case. Tell also what you will cover in this case study.Problem Statement: Talk about the major problems in this case and how you would solve them. You only use the time frame in the case and what is currently happening at Middleby. I hope everyone has figured out that Middleby is on the brink of bankruptcy and everyone in the marketplace knows it. They promote this guy named Selim Bassoul to COO and he has this bold five-point plan to turn around the company. He is so crazy he wants to buy this company called Blodgett with debt. It is stated in the case: this overaggressive acquisition strategy is the very thing that got Middleby close to bankruptcy. You must decide in the case of whether you think Bassoul’s plans are going to work based on the evidence in the case. You do not know the future. We know it worked, but you have to blank that out of your mind and think about it as if you were a board member– would you approve this merger. Make a judgment on Bassoul’s five-point plan and his proposed purchase of Blodgett.SWOT Analysis; Make sure you have separated out each element and explain what this SWOT analysis means. Global Perspective and Position: You must take a look at how Middleby’s Global Perspective and position in the marketplace play into Selim’s plan. The case talks about Global Branding Efforts. You must make some type of determination of what it means for a company to have a global perspective and whether Middleby has a proper one. Alternatives: Based on the problem(s) you identified in the case what alternatives do you have to solve them. You just bullet these alternativesRecommendations: This is the money section and it should never be just one paragraph. You are solving the problems you identified and tell Middleby what they should do going forward to remain a viable and competitive company. Make sure you address all the problems you stated in the problem statement.Conclusion: You can reflect on what you found and learned in this case. You can talk about how Bassoul’s planned worked, but you may have had doubts based on the facts of the case. These are the sections you should include in your case study. It should be about 5-7 pages double-spaced. You need to do all these sections for the first draft.I also want you to understand a concept called the z-score model because that played a role in this case. Somehow Bassoul overcame a really bad Z-score (how likely is it a company will go bankrupt) to convince banks to lend him money. If he does not get the financing for the Blodgett deal I think Middleby goes bankrupt. https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/knowledge/credit/altmans-z-score-model/ RUBRIC ATTACHED AND CASE ARTICLE ATTACHED
