Strategically, what must Pan-Europa do to keep from becoming the victim of a hostile takeover?

Using the Meredith and Mantel textbook, Project Management: A Managerial Approach, review Chapter 2, “Strategic Management and Project Selection,” Pan-Europa Case Study, pp. 82-89. Once you have reviewed the case study, prepare a minimum of 600 words in length defending your response to the following questions:

 Strategically, what must Pan-Europa do to keep from becoming the victim of a hostile takeover? What should Pan-Europa do now that they have won the price war? Who should lead the way for Pan-Europa?

 Using net present value (NPV), conduct a straight financial analysis of the investment alternatives and rank the projects. Which NPV of the three should be used? Why? Suggest a way to evaluate the effluent project.

 What aspects of the projects might invalidate the ranking you just derived? How should we correct for each investments time, value of money, unequal lifetimes, riskiness, and size?
