Case Usage
The case was developed and used with both under graduate
and post graduate students (preferably at the start to mid
parts of the course). It is a case designed to allow in-class
work to be carried out and discussion to be developed in
general through applying theory to practice.
Case Rationale
This case study, Borussia Dortmund Bomb Plot, is a teaching
case providing some help and interpretation of the
information provided. It explores a complex situation
covering the vagaries of the external environment – shorting
share price through attempted murder of key assets of the
organisation – to the dismissal of the coach for disagreeing
with the team boss. Perhaps a question of finance over
welfare?
Case Issues
Share price vulnerability to shorting
Management relationships
Players as assets
