The ISR-1 Drug Case: A Decision-Making Exercise
Fiset, John; Byrne, Alyson
Journal of Management Education, v45 n6 p859-888 Dec 2021
Organizations around the world are challenged with managing complex decisions; however, many students do not have practical experience with the way in which these organizations go about this process. In this article, we outline an experiential case, based on a contemporary, real-world health policy challenge, which illustrates the ethical and team-based difficulties inherent in making decisions in instances of limited budgets and multiple stakeholders with conflicting priorities. This highly adaptable exercise places students in the role of decision-maker where they must select the best course of action to address a virulent blood-borne disease afflicting their constituents. Throughout this process, students are exposed to a number of decision-making, stakeholder, ethical, and team dynamic issues. The exercise has been successfully implemented in undergraduate- and graduate-level classes and encourages high-quality class discussions in a wide range of organizational behavior and management courses.
