Hertz CEO Kathryn Marinello with CFO Jamere Jackson and other members of the executive team in 2017

Top 40 Most Popular Case Studies of 2021

Two cases about Hertz claimed top spots in 2021's Top 40 Most Popular Case Studies

Two cases on the uses of debt and equity at Hertz claimed top spots in the CRDT’s (Case Research and Development Team) 2021 top 40 review of cases.

Hertz (A) took the top spot. The case details the financial structure of the rental car company through the end of 2019. Hertz (B), which ranked third in CRDT’s list, describes the company’s struggles during the early part of the COVID pandemic and its eventual need to enter Chapter 11 bankruptcy. 

The success of the Hertz cases was unprecedented for the top 40 list. Usually, cases take a number of years to gain popularity, but the Hertz cases claimed top spots in their first year of release. Hertz (A) also became the first ‘cooked’ case to top the annual review, as all of the other winners had been web-based ‘raw’ cases.

Besides introducing students to the complicated financing required to maintain an enormous fleet of cars, the Hertz cases also expanded the diversity of case protagonists. Kathyrn Marinello was the CEO of Hertz during this period and the CFO, Jamere Jackson is black.

Sandwiched between the two Hertz cases, Coffee 2016, a perennial best seller, finished second. “Glory, Glory, Man United!” a case about an English football team’s IPO made a surprise move to number four.  Cases on search fund boards, the future of malls,  Norway’s Sovereign Wealth fund, Prodigy Finance, the Mayo Clinic, and Cadbury rounded out the top ten.

Other year-end data for 2021 showed:

  • Online “raw” case usage remained steady as compared to 2020 with over 35K users from 170 countries and all 50 U.S. states interacting with 196 cases.
  • Fifty four percent of raw case users came from outside the U.S..
  • The Yale School of Management (SOM) case study directory pages received over 160K page views from 177 countries with approximately a third originating in India followed by the U.S. and the Philippines.
  • Twenty-six of the cases in the list are raw cases.
  • A third of the cases feature a woman protagonist.
  • Orders for Yale SOM case studies increased by almost 50% compared to 2020.
  • The top 40 cases were supervised by 19 different Yale SOM faculty members, several supervising multiple cases.

CRDT compiled the Top 40 list by combining data from its case store, Google Analytics, and other measures of interest and adoption.

All of this year’s Top 40 cases are available for purchase from the Yale Management Media store .

Airline and Transportation Bankruptcy Enterprise Values and Creditor Recoveries (2024 Fitch Case Studies)

Thu 22 Feb, 2024 - 12:56 PM ET

In this update to Fitch Ratings’ recurring U.S. corporate bankruptcy case study series, Fitch provides one new case study and republishes 22 cases from prior editions. Disclaimer: Fitch cautions the case studies are not intended to provide exact recovery outcomes, valuations or legal opinions. Estimates in this report may vary significantly from final case outcomes. U.S. airline bankruptcy cases completed a number of years ago were aimed at cost cuts, including pension funding, labor contracts and fleets. Debt reduction was less of a focus in these bankruptcies compared with other sectors. This trend continued with the pandemic-era filers with each of LATAM Airlines Group S.A., Avianca Holdings S.A. and Grupo Aeromexico S.A.B. reducing debt by less than 30%. The median debt reduction was 44% for the airline and transportation cases, compared with 76% in Fitch Ratings’ cross-sector corporate bankruptcy database.

Orange Computers Corporate Finance Case Study Solution

In order to find the optimal capital structure for Orange Computers, we must first understand the trade-off theory of capital structure. This theory posits that there is a trade-off between the benefits of debt and the costs of debt. On one hand, debt financing provides tax shields and can help a company leverage its assets to increase returns. On the other hand, too much debt can lead to financial distress and bankruptcy. After careful analysis, we have determined that the optimal capital structure for Orange Computers is 60% equity and 40% debt. This mix will provide the company with enough financial flexibility to pursue its growth objectives while minimizing the risk of financial distress.

Simple Finance Case Study

Simple Finance Case Study

In this case study, we’ll take a look at a company that made a simple financial decision that had big implications. The company in question is ABC Corporation, and the decision they made was to invest in a new product line. The company purchased $1 million worth of materials and hired five workers to create their new products. They were hoping that by investing in this new product line, they would be able to increase profits and offset declining revenue from one of their current lines. Unfortunately, demand for the new products never materialized, and production ceased after nine months. What could have gone wrong? Read on to find out more about what went wrong with ABC’s decision.

What is the difference between equity and debt?

Equity is ownership in a company, which can be in the form of stocks or another type of security. Debt is when a company borrows money and is obligated to repay the funds, plus interest. Equity is riskier than debt, but also has the potential for higher returns. In general, companies use a mix of both equity and debt to finance their operations.

What is the difference between a company’s assets and liabilities?

A company’s assets are everything it owns and can use to generate revenue. This includes cash, investments, property, and equipment. A company’s liabilities are everything it owes. This includes money owed to suppliers, employees, the government, and lenders. The difference between a company’s assets and liabilities is its equity. Equity is what owners have invested in the business minus any debts the business owes. 

What is the difference between a company’s income statement and balance sheet?

A company’s income statement shows its profitability, or lack thereof, over a period of time. The balance sheet, on the other hand, is a snapshot of the company’s assets and liabilities at a given point in time. Income statements can be used to trend a company’s financial health over time, while balance sheets can be used to assess the liquidity of a company.
