Name of assignment

Handling of a situation. The situation which occurs is very positive, but it brings challenges as well. What this positive situation exactly is, will be made clear during the game.

Situation

As in reality, unexpected things will always occur: sometimes for the good, sometimes for the bad. As a management team you have to be prepared, but even more important, you must act. Everyone will be looking to the management team with regard to steps to take. There is no road map on what to do and on how to act and the situation didn't happened before.
The situation is urgent and demands for steps to be taken immediately. Jill Jandal, the staff and all stakeholders are looking at you, the new management team to take the lead in this situation.
