Task 1
CASE 1: Iceberg Tool to Understand Patterns and Structure
1. Questions to Ask
1. Explain what happened in this case study.
- In case study 1, Wilde’s Bramble organic foods started selling organic products at their
local farmers’ market. The high-quality products attracted local shops and restaurants who want to
buy and/or resell their products.
2. Explain how people reacted/responded to what happened.
- With the increase of customers came more demand, so the Wildes had to use some of
their savings money, pile on credit card charges, and had to take out a mortgage on the farm to
keep up with the production of organic goods.
3. Comparing the beginning of the case and the end, explain what changed and what continues the
same.
- In the beginning of the case the Wilde’s profit and sales went up. As the case goes on, the
debt goes up as well since they need more money to keep up with the demand and sales. The profit
goes down because all the money made from sales goes into the debt they occumulate trying to
keep up with the demands.
4. Given the case study, what would you anticipate will happen next? How could the involved
parties plan or prepare for that?
- What I anticipate next is that the Wildes might have to shut down to save themselves from
the ever rising debt they occumulate. The Wildes should’ve strategized a plan after seeing the
results
