Using the Meredith and Mantel textbook, Project Management: A Managerial Approach, review Chapter 2, “Strategic

Management and Project Selection,” Pan-Europa Case Study, pp. 82-89. Once you have reviewed the case study, prepare a minimum of 600 words in length defending your response to the following questions:

·         Strategically, what must Pan-Europa do to keep from becoming the victim of a hostile takeover? What should

·         Pan-Europa do now that they have won the price war? Who should lead the way for Pan-Europa?

·         Using net present value (NPV), conduct a straight financial analysis of the investment alternatives and rank the

·         projects. Which NPV of the three should be used? Why? Suggest a way to evaluate the effluent project.

·         What aspects of the projects might invalidate the ranking you just derived? How should we correct for each

·         investments time, value of money, unequal lifetimes, riskiness, and size?

Lastly, reflect on the assignment and come up with a view on the screens and criteria to be used for the project selection process. Apply the criteria and make a project selection.

Your assignment must:

·         Be typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations

·         and references must follow APA format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
