4 Buying and Merchandising Team Decision Making Event TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction...3 Competitive Events Case Study #1...5 Case Study # Case Study # INTRODUCTION This publication is designed to assist DECA members and their local chapter advisors in preparing for DECA s Team Decision Making Events in the fields of Business Law and Ethics, Buying and Merchandising, Financial Services, Hospitality Services, Marketing Communications, Sports and Entertainment Marketing or Travel and Tourism Marketing. This document will be useful in preparing students for local, state and international competition by familiarizing them with the format, structure and evaluation tools used in international competition. This series of events is presented as an example of the types of case studies in which a team might expect to participate at the International Career Development Conference. The competitive events found herein, however, are not representative of all performance indicators that the students may be expected to demonstrate on the national level. A complete list of performance indicators upon which the events are written is available online at OVERVIEW OF EVENT The Buying and Merchandising Team Decision Making Event is a case study event in a role-play format. Team members are given a real-world, decision-making case study situation involving a management problem in buying and merchandising. Employees in buying and merchandising positions get the product into the hands of the customer. This process includes forecasting, planning, buying, displaying, selling and providing customer service. The two members of the team have 30 minutes to study the situation and organize their analysis. The team will then make an oral presentation to the judge assuming the role of an executive for the business represented. Team members also take a written exam testing general marketing, management, entrepreneurship and business and also knowledge specific to the buying and merchandising area. Test scores are averaged with the role-play for the team score. Past test questions are available for sale from DECA Images at 3
5 SUGGESTIONS Prepare Mentally Competitors should get sufficient sleep the night before competition so that they will be mentally alert and able to concentrate on the case study. Dress Appropriately Professional dress should be worn to all conference sessions. Competitors must wear an official DECA blazer during interaction with the judges. Follow the Program Agenda Locate the event room beforehand and arrive at the site early enough to be acclimated to the environment, relaxed, etc. Competitors must be on time for each event. Use Preparation Time Wisely Competitors should take advantage of the time provided for each activity of the event. During the written test, competitors should think through each item completely and carefully while gauging the time appropriately. If time allows, recheck the answers. While preparing for the case study presentation, competitors should use all the time allotted constructively. Performance Indicators When teams approach the case study situation, they are given a list of seven performance indicators (PIs). These are tasks or competencies the team must demonstrate as they accomplish the specific industryoriented task. They will be evaluated on the specific performance indicators listed for the event. Lists of performance indicators are available on DECA s Web site at Performance indicators are bits of the curriculum, such as Identify a target market, or Identify the elements of a promotional mix, or Explain the principles of supply and demand. Although they are quite specific, performance indicators are organized under broader topics called instructional areas. You will recognize instructional areas as units of the marketing education curriculum, such as selling, promotion, economics, distribution, pricing, marketing information management, financial analysis, product / service management, communication skills, and operations. To have the best chance in competition, teams must focus on the performance indicators.

9 JUDGING THE PRESENTATION Team members, assuming the role of a management team for the business represented, will analyze a case situation related to the chosen occupational area. The team will make decisions regarding the situation, and then make an oral presentation to the judge. The role of the judge is that of an executive for the business. Participants will be evaluated according to the Evaluation Form. Please place the name and identification number label on the Scantron sheet (unless it has already been done for you). Participants will have a 30-minute preparation period and may make notes to use during the role-play. During the first 10 minutes of the presentation (after introductions), the team will present their analysis, their decisions and the rationale behind the decisions. Allow the teams to complete this portion without interruption, unless you are asked to respond. During the next 5 minutes, you may ask questions of the team to determine their understanding of the situation presented. Each member of each team should respond to at least one question. To ensure fairness, you must ask each team the same questions. After asking the standard questions, you may ask other questions for clarification specific to the current team. After the questioning period, please thank the team and state that they will be notified of your decision soon. Then complete the Evaluation Form, making sure to record a score for all categories. The maximum score for the evaluation is 100 points. The presentation will be weighted at twice (2 times) the value of the exam scores. A maximum score of Exceeds Expectations in any category means that, in your opinion, the information is presented effectively and creatively; nothing more could be expected of an employee. A Meets Expectations rating means that the information is presented well. Though there may be a few minor problems or omissions, they are not significant. Creativity, however, is not shown to any great degree. A combined total score of 70 or better on the written and presentation sections will earn the participant team DECA s Certificate of Excellence at the international conference. A Below Expectations score means that the information presented does not meet minimum standards of acceptability. A Little/No Value score means either that some major flaw has been noted that damages the effectiveness of the presentation (this may be a major omission, a serious misstatement or any other major flaw) or that the information presented is of no value (does not help the presentation at all). We hope you are impressed by the quality of the work of these potential managers. If you have any suggestions for improving the event, please mention them to your series director. We thank you for your help. 8
