8/26/14 The Case of the Traveling Service Teams

"When responding to case studies, its important to read the whole case and form your opinion.  Your response to case studies, should be a MINIMUM of 50 words and needs to include what YOU would do if YOU were put into the situation."  

Ready the study below,


All year long you plan Service Learning Trips for students and no matter how well you try to plan them, something always comes up . This year, you have one trip planned to leave for Guatemala where they are going to spend the week teaching leadership in various High Schools . You also have another trip planned to go to the Dominican Republic to work with low-income families and orphans . Both are going to share a bus to the Miami Airport because they fly out at similar times (the Guatemala team flies out 25 minutes earlier than the Dominican Republic team) . In order to make their flights, they are scheduled to leave at 5:00 a .m . for the bus ride that will take an hour and a half to get to the airport .

While the Guatemala team arrives on time, the Dominican Republic team is missing their male student leader . Along with being one of the trip's leaders, he is also the only male going on the trip because all of the others needed to drop out due to financial reasons . Attempts to reach him or his roommates on the phone have proved to be unsuccessful and it's now 5:30 a .m .

In planning these trips, you told everybody that you would leave people behind if they don't wake up on time, but that's not so easy to do in this situation . The Dominican Republic trip, while not overly dangerous, would face some serious complications without a male presence on the trip . However, if more time is taken to wait for this leader, the Guatemala team might miss their flight . The student leader lives about fifteen minutes away from campus, but it's on the way to the airport, so you decide to start driving and hope he answers his phone before you get to his apartment .

As you get closer to where the leader lives, he still hasn't answered his phone . You could pull into the parking lot to knock on his door, but every minute spent waiting for this leader makes it highly possible that you'll run into rush hour traffic in Miami, which would most likely result in the teams missing their flights .

> What would you do?
