Case study #1 – Bitcoin and the future of traditional monetary systems
Context
Bitcoin is a virtual monetary system that works without a central bank, is based on digital tokens
without intrinsic value, and relies on a system of trust of users recording transactions on a publicly-
available ledger. Major retailers are now accepting Bitcoin in exchange for physical goods purchased
online, and its legitimacy as a currency has been recognised by authorities worldwide.
Questions
Evaluate the opportunities and/or threats Bitcoin presents to traditional monetary systems.
How might the regulation of the Bitcoin market have to change, if the use of Bitcoin becomes more
widespread?
Case study #2 – Expansion of China Southern and its impact on the airline industry in the
Asia-Pacific
Context
China Southern has undergone significant expansion in recent years leading to its dominance as
Asia’s largest airline in fleet size and number of passengers carried.
Questions
Evaluate how China Southern established its competitive advantage in the industry in the Asia-Pacific
region.
How has China Southern’s growth impacted other airlines in the region? How might national airlines
such as Qantas or Singapore Airlines re-focus to remain competitive?
Case study #3 – Misconduct of Commonwealth Bank financial planners
Context
Evidence has recently shown that financial planners employed by the Commonwealth Bank misled
customers in the provision of advice between 2003 and 2012. It is estimated that thousands of clients
were affected by this misconduct, and the Bank’s response has been deemed inadequate to date.
Questions
Evaluate the Commonwealth Bank’s response to this crisis. How would the response have been
improved?
