After reading the Henry Tam and the MGI Team case from the HBSP course pack and going through the lecture PPT, please answer the following questions. You are expected to conduct the discussion in the discussion boards under your group linkfor each question.You may post either an original response to the questions or a substantive response to one of your group member's posts for at least 3 of the questions. Your group must respond to all questions for the week. All groups will receive the same questions. Once the group has decided upon an answer for each question, one group member will turn in the answers through the assignment portal.

A note about online discussions: Discussions require the back-and-forth exchange of facts, experiences and opinions. These should be treated as "conversations" about the cases. As such, the starting grade for this assignment will be dependent upon the quality of answer given by the group. Your grade may be lowered compared to the group, if you did not participate as required.
