Strategy & Global Sustainability in Guatemala

1. Strategy & Global Sustainability in Guatemala Bruce Clemens & Zak Kostura PowerPoint by Emily Boyer and Mitch McGrath

2. The Village You are the leader of a small village in central Guatemala. The village consists of a few families, all of whom know each other. At present time, the quality of life in your village is quite poor. Your people live without health care, a formal education, clean drinking water, electricity as well as many other aspects of life that others take for granted. The infant mortality rate and the death rate of your village are very high. Diseases often spread to epidemic proportions. Your villagers are eager to improve the quality of life in the village. You have acquired a small treasury made from donations from your villagers and the national government. The people of your village want to improve the village at any cost.

3. DECISION TIME!

4. Year 1 The time for advancement has arrived. With a sufficient number of money points and a highly motivated populace, your village has the opportunity to begin construction. With such a limited work force however, you have the resources to begin only one project. The project options and their costs are listed below.

6. Water

7. School

8. Health Center

9. Nothing

10. Year 2 As in the case of any developing villages, unwarranted events can and will occur during development. These events can be both positive and negative. The most important thing to remember however is that they occur randomly. Your village will experience an event during this round. Ace-6 7-8 9-Jack Queen & King

30. Year 4 A film crew from National Geographic got word of your recent attempts to improve your village. They see it as a great topic for a documentary. A representative of the film crew has offered you money up front. The director of the documentary wants to make this film as in-depth as possible. He believes that the more complex the village is, the longer he can make his film. He sees the very utilities that you have been constructing as key aspects for the film. Because of this, he will pay you for each utility that you have. The royalties are listed below:

31. Year 5 For several years now, there have been rumors of a drug-smuggling ring operating out of your village. Several of your government officials have stumbled upon this ring, and have threatened to turn them over to you. The leader of the drug ring, sensing the danger that he was in, has made a drastic decision. He writes a letter to you. To Whom It May Concern: I will make this letter short. We have separate interest in this village. I mean no harm to the development of this community. To assure that I am serious. I offer you a “contribution” of 100 money points towards your efforts in the village. In return, I request only that you to maintain your course of action, and leave myself and my business out of your interests. Sincerely, “A Concerned Citizen” Accept Deny

39. Year 6 Your village has grown significantly as a result of your recent successes. The birth rate has increased and the death rate has dropped off sharply. Individuals from other villages have gotten word of what you have been doing, and have chosen to move into your village. Although this may be quite an accomplishment, it means more trouble for you. You are now faced with overpopulation in your rapidly developing village. As your town grows, more woodland is removed to make way for housing. Buildings are now much closer together. Villagers share a small, cramped areas compared to what they are used to. These factors will play an enormous role in this next year, where you will be faced with crisis that will come about as a result of overpopulation. As in year 2, your village will experience an event during this round. Ace-10 Jack-King (if no W, roll again)
