Case Study Managing Infrastructure Projects and Programmes
Case Study Managing Infrastructure Projects and Programmes
You are asked to select an infrastructure sector or organisation of your choice and describe the key challenges in the delivery of projects/programmes in this setting. Based on the theoretical ideas and concepts presented and discussed in class (E.g., management of projects, strategy, the project front-end, project value and other concepts, based on your own literature review and the reading list.) as well as relevant examples provided by guest contributors and project cases covered, you are expected to provide a week-by-week summary of your understanding of the main themes and practical challenges in the management of infrastructure projects and programmes.
In developing your argument, you can choose to either cover the entire life-cycle (from the fuzzy front-end decisions, through design, delivery to handover and transition into operations) or focus on any of the life-cycle stages. Assessment of this module will take place as a submission of a portfolio of short analytical reflections on the weekly themes covered in the module. You are expected to draw on the material provided in the lectures and readings, integrate them and apply them in your own context. The goal is that all the weekly submissions build towards your understanding of the issues in the management of infrastructure projects and programmes in an organisation, industry, or geography of your choice. While each week of the module features a mix of material (teaching cases, guest contributions, discussions, etc), the weekly submissions are guided by the reading list and research papers we expect you to study for each week. As such, the basis of your weekly submissions should be the readings but those should be complemented with insights from teaching cases, guest contributions and class discussions.
• 1st Part – Choose setting and describe the policy and business challenges for your setting
• 2nd Part – Discuss project front-end and planning issues in your setting
• 3rd Part – Discuss value creation, delivery and capture in project(s) of your setting
• 4th Part – Discuss the capabilities and delivery models of your infrastructure project setting
• 5th Part – Suggest an outline approach for managing infrastructure projects in your setting from inception through delivery to operations and use.
Format and structure
A guiding question is given for each weekly submission (see above). Please use Harvard referencing style for both weekly formative submissions and the final portfolio submission.
Each of the 5 components of the portfolio will finally be assessed with 20 points in a double marking process.
Marking Criteria
Statement of problem (formulate the focus of the learning journal) 6 points (30%)
Analysis (integration of literature, lecture material and your original thinking) 8 points (40%)
Conclusions (implications and new insights from your analysis) 4 points (20%)
Presentation (flow and structure of argument, use of academic English and referencing) 2 points (10%) Total 20 points (100%)
The marking criteria will be applied to all 5 components of the portfolio submission so that each weekly submission will address multiple learning objectives along your learning journey. Word Count/Length We expect around 500-600 words for each section (not including tables, figures and references).

Business sales forecast Cree Inc case study
Business sales forecast Cree Inc case study
We are continuing the discussion of the Cree Inc. case study. For this week’s discussion I want you to develop a sales forecast for the LED light bulb. Consider some quantitative analysis for this case such as what might be the size of this market? How many households are there? How many potential light bulbs per household? What market segments are most attractive for this product? How many potential households are in this segment?
As you look to size the market, consider:
1. How many residential incandescent bulbs are sold each year? Note 88% of incandescent bulbs sold are in residential settings.
2. What % of these residential light bulbs are sold at Home Depot each year?
3. How many of the incandescent bulbs sold at Home Depot each year could be replaced with the Cree LED bulb? What % of the bulbs sold at HD are of the 40-60-75-100w variety? What % are the 40 and 60w variety?
4. Consumers can choose between halogen, CFL and LED bulbs once incandescent bulbs are phased out, what would be your guesstimate of how many consumers would choose LED? How many would choose halogen? How many would choose CFL? Then what % of LED sales might go to Cree vs. competitors who are also selling LED light bulbs?
5. How much money might Cree make from the LED light bulb sales? What is the retail margin for the LED light bulb? What is Cree’s margin? Do a price waterfall, List price, – distributor price – COGS. HD makes 25% and Cree makes 30%. Do this at a couple different list price points. Estimate the split between the 40w and the 60w version of the Cree LED bulb.
What might their total annual revenue might be? What might be their annual profit?
Then do an economic analysis of the cost of use and payback period for using the incandescent vs. the LED light bulb. This includes taking this out 20 years, how many incandescent bulbs will be purchased over 20 years, what is the cost of electricity over 20 years. Then how many LED bulbs will be purchased over 20 years, and the cost of electricity over 20 years?
