The Scenario:

This project forces you to think outside the box. Analyze Robin Hood's crusade against the Sheriff of Nottingham in business terms. As the case unfolds, Robin Hood's problem are multiplying. His revenue is declining as travelers are beginning to avoid coming through the forest $($The market is in decline! The present strategy has run out of gas. Does Robin Hood need to expand into new geographic markets to maintain and grow revenues?$).$ ?Yet,

because the fame of his Merrymen is spreading, new recruits are pouring in$.$ ?The size of his band is beginning to exceed the food capacity of the forest and the band$$s camp, because of its increasing size, is easier to detect. Discipline is becoming harder to enforce. $($In other words, costs are rising and diseconomies of scale have set in$$Robin Hood is caught in a classic profit squeeze! Moreover, the culture is being eroded because all the newcomers do not have the same values and beliefs as the original members who had a common bond of opposing the evil Sheriff and trying to redress grievances of the downtrodden at the hands of the ruling class. Furthermore, the Sheriff$$s forces are growing stronger $($i$.$e$.,$ ?competition is intensifying!$).$ ?Robin needs an action plan to deal with the deteriorating situation, and he needs to implement it quickly.

As Robin Hood$$s most trusted advisor $($and as someone knowledgeable in the ways of crafting and executing effective organizational strategies$),$ ?please prepare an action plan for Robin Hood$$s consideration. It is your job to convince him to pursue your proposed plan; hence your presentation should include full justification and arguments to support your recommended course of action. Robin Hood expects you to provide him with a rundown of the issues he needs to address including: an appropriate action plan that includes: a set of performance objectives, a strategy for dealing with the organizational issues$/$problems he confronts, and the action steps that will need to be taken to implement the strategy effectively.

Please provide supporting analysis and persuasive argument for your recommended course of action $($remember$,$ ?you must convince him to do what you suggest!$)$ ?and you need to be specific about what to do and how to do it$.$
