  Maccabitech: The Promise of Israel's Healthcare Data

  Scott Duke Kominers and Carin-Isabel Knoop

  This case is set in mid-2019, when Qualcomm was struggling with unwanted takeover battles, fights with Apple and the Chinese government, and internal dissension on the board of directors. Ten years earlier Qualcomm was hailed as a monopoly on CDMA technologies and its derivatives—it appeared to be positioned to become the next dominant technology company in the tradition of Microsoft and Intel. But as the industry changed, Qualcomm’s competitive position seriously weakened. The purpose of the case is to explore central questions in strategy formulation: 1. how to build a long-term sustainable position based on technology, 2. how to design an IP strategy to lock in customers for the long run, 3. how to build a global standard and appropriate returns on that standard, and 4. how to respond when your historical business model starts to crumble.

  Global Sourcing at Nike

  Nien-hê Hsieh, Michael W. Toffel and Olivia Hull

  This case explores the evolution of Nike’s global product sourcing strategy, in particular ongoing efforts to improve working conditions at its suppliers’ factories. When the case opens in July 2018, Vice President of Sourcing Amanda Tucker and her colleagues in Nike’s Global Sourcing and Manufacturing division were focusing on three key supply chain challenges: sourcing from suppliers that meet compliance standards, challenging and encouraging suppliers to improve capabilities, and being responsive to consumer demand across the world.
