b. If the weight for "Strong Sponsor" is changed from 2.0 to 5.0, will the project selection change? What are the three highest weighted project scores with this new weight?


c. Why is it important that the weights mirror critical strategic factors?

2. Review the description of Michael Eisner's gong show approach in Box 3.3 of the textbook. In your own words, describe what you think might be the advantages and disadvantages of this approach? In what kinds of organizations would it be most appropriately used? Why do you think so?

3. Your family (you, your spouse, and five-year-old child) are planning a trip to Walt Disney in Orlando, Florida. Representatives from upper management (your spouse and child) have specified that the trip will entail travel to Orlando, a four-night stay, and three days spent in Disney World itself. You and your spouse have allocated about $5,000 from your annual budget for this project.
