Drumbeat on the Shore
by Marjory HallFor Abigail Bates, there could be no better place to live in the whole world. She had the sand dunes and the sea for a vast front yard. Her father, Captain Simeon, was keeper of the Scituate lighthouse at Cedar Point. Their frame house overlooked the harbor. However busy she was, Nabby always had time to pause and scan the horizon for the white sails of a brig or a sloop, so peaceful against the blue that it was hard to realize they might be a threat. It was the summer of 1814, and war seemed remote in New England.... “Mr. Madison’s war,” the Federalists called it scornfully, considering that “ those dunderheads in Washington ” had invented it and that it had nothing to do with Massachusetts. But the boys and younger men in Scituate were enraged by the blockade that had closed the ports of the Delaware and Chesapeake. News from far away came slowly and was never good news. Becky, Nabby’s older sister, was wan and worried because Thomas, whom she dearly loved, was away on a secret mission that had something to do with outwitting the British and their intolerable blockade. When Peter Trumbull returns mysteriously to Scituate by night and enlists Nabby’s help, the war becomes real for her in a very personal way. It becomes real suddenly for the whole town when the British fire the ships in the harbor... when the shipyards up the North River are closed... and when the militia are stationed at the lighthouse... This is the exciting story of Nabby Bates and her sister Becky--two girls whose heroism in the War of 1812 is part of American legend. Marjory Hall has brought them to vivid life in this excellent historical re-creation of Massachusetts’ part in the “ war at sea ” with the British. It is also a warm and lively account of the independent Bates family, every one of them an active and interesting person, and of their life at the foot of a famous American lighthouse during an important period in our country’s past.
Walkin' Preacher of the Ozarks
by Guy HowardGuy Howard's story is no echo of any other preacher’s autobiography--he is known to thousands of mountain people in northern Arkansas and southern Missouri as the Walkin' Preacher of the Ozarks. For the past ten years, Mr. Howard has walked an average of four thousand miles a year; his salary has averaged fourteen dollars a month. He has served dozens of pastorless communities in the Ozark area as pastor, teacher, music director, confessor and general advisor on matters of every description. Without thought of recompense, distance, or dangers, he is at the beck and call of these mountain people all hours of day and night. “Lavin’ away gran’pappy," taking the place of the proverbial shotgun, revival meetings, building the schoolhouse--these and other homespun stories are told with engaging candor and portrayed with forceful simplicity, honest religion, and against a setting about which most Americans know little.

York Capital and Enovix
by Jo Tango Alys Ferragamo William VrattosIn June 2020, Jeremy Blank prepared for a meeting with his fellow partners at York Capital to discuss an investment he had championed in Enovix, a company developing a state-of-the-art, silicon-based battery. Early-stage technology companies, like Enovix, were not typical investments for York, but Blank had convinced his partners to invest. However, the partnership wanted to be "one and done" without reinvesting in future rounds. By 2020, Enovix had made great progress but not as quickly as forecasted. The company had set out to raise more money and received a term sheet from a well-known publicly-traded company. Blank saw this as an exciting opportunity for Enovix, but he was disappointed to see that it would require York to invest more capital and forego a key protective feature. How should Blank approach this meeting with his partners, and what should he recommend?
Hot Wheels: Launching The Mixed Play Experience
by Elie Ofek Nicole Tempest Keller Andres TerechChris Down, Global Brand General Manager for Hot Wheels, and his team from the Advanced Play Group within Mattel, Inc., had developed an entirely new "mixed play" product experience that blended familiar Hot Wheels play in the physical world with breakthrough play in the digital world. The technology underlying the product was an NFC chip embedded in the physical Hot Wheels die-cast car that could be scanned to add a digital version of the car into a virtual domain, where users could see their stats and play video games with the car. The goal for the new mixed play experience was to extend the age of the Hot Wheels customer, as children were observed to be moving on from physical toys to digital play at a younger and younger age. The mixed play concept had received unprecedented investment and support, since it represented a whole new approach to play that could set the stage for the future of Hot Wheels and other Mattel brands. In early 2019, the product development phase was nearly complete and plans were being set for the launch. Key decisions needed to be made around positioning, naming, pricing, channel, promotion, and launch timing. Given the high expectations for the innovative mixed play platform, it was critical to get these go-to-market decisions right.
How Should Netflix Add an Ad-Supported Tier?
by Elie Ofek Olivier ToubiaIn the summer of 2022, it became clear that Netflix would introduce an ad-supported tier alongside its existing subscription plans in the near future. Speculation abounded as to the details of the new tier: How many minutes of advertising would it include? What picture quality would it offer? How many screens could be viewed at the same time? And, critically, how much would it cost the consumer per month? In this exercise, students are tasked with trying to assess whether Netflix should indeed go ahead with introducing a new ad-supported tier - and if so, how? - or whether the company would be better off sticking with its existing tiers and repricing them - and if so, by how much? Students need to evaluate which of these options would maximize the number of subscribers, and importantly, profits. Students have at their disposal results from market research (specifically a conjoint analysis study), financial reports, and industry data. The exercise also allows for a conceptual discussion of the merits of alternative revenue models: ad-driven vs. pure subscription-driven vs. a hybrid of the two.
