  Progress Energy and Duke Energy (A)

  Guhan Subramanian and Charlotte Krontiris

  Just as Duke Energy and Progress Energy announce their merger, forming the largest utility company in the United States, a nuclear reactor owned by Progress suffers major damage and must be taken offline. The CEO of the new company, Duke head Jim Rogers, must decide whether to repair or retire the broken reactor. This difficult decision is set against a background of deepening crisis as Duke copes with a regulatory investigation, an insurance impasse, and growing doubts about Progress's leadership.

  Massachusetts Financial Services (Abridged)

  Brian J. Hall and Karen Huang

  This case describes the compensation and performance evaluations at an investment management company. The senior management team of Massachusetts Financial Services (MFS) Investment Management was contemplating an introduction of hedge funds at the firm, but many believed that typical hedge fund manager pay (20% of the upside) would harm the MFS culture, which glorified "star performance but not star egos." The case presents the MFS compensation philosophy and plan (including the plan's emphasis on subjective compensation), the types of people it attracted, the resulting culture, and how the senior management team approached the hedge funds question. It includes side discussion on firm-specific human capital. This is an abridged version of an earlier case.
