Students must use the information provided to inform the boards of these teams about whether the two managers deserve to be fired.
Information in the first part of the case provides information about team operation (wins and losses), manager popularity, and other factors that influence views on effectiveness. The second part of the case reveals choices about who was actually fired, which may surprise some. Both parts allow for an intriguing discussion about what organizational effectiveness is truly around. HKS Case Number 1933.0
