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

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.

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-67-89-JackQueen & King

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:

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

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-10Jack-King (if no

Year 7 The national government of Guatemala has just gotten
word or your recent efforts to promote the development of your
village. They wish to provide incentive for further progress. To do
so, they have offered to pay for half of any one utility. The
utilities and their discounted costs are listed below. ProjectCost

Year 8 A large sum of money was stolen from the Guatemalan
National Government and has somehow been incorporated into the
local budget of either your village or your neighboring village.
While you have no current knowledge of this, you realize that it is
possible that it may have been one of your local officials who
introduced the money into your budget for last years construction.
The representative tells you that another government employee is
currently contacting your neighboring village. During this
conversation, he tells you that both you and the leader of the
neighboring village will be questioned as to your villages
participation in this conspiracy.

Year 9 A laborer dies as a result of poor working conditions on
a farm on the outskirts of your village. Laborers and merchants
from every part of your village begin an uprising in the center of
town. After several days of dispute, they submit their demands. The
workers in your village demand better living and working
conditions. In order to do this, you would have to set up a minimum
wage, as well as welfare and basic standards on working conditions.
Most of your staff and advisors do no see is as your problem. They
feel that you have more important things to spend your money on.

Year 10 Congratulations! Your efforts have once again been
recognized by the National Government. They would like to reimburse
your village for the work you have completed. You will receive a
return on every utility that you have constructed. The payment list

Year 11 You once again have an opportunity to build. Because
your village has grown to such a large scale, you are able (if you
can afford it) to begin two projects at once. Should you choose to
undertake two projects; the second project will require additional
funds. The prices for these projects are as follows: 1 st

Year 12 A fugitive from a neighboring village has escaped and
has taken refuge in your village. Several villagers have confirmed
the presence of the fugitive, but will not tell you or the leaders
of the village from which the fugitive fled. In response, several
unnamed assailants attempt to detonate a bomb in your village.

Year 13 A proposal has been made by several neighboring
villages to set up a simple system of roads linking your village to
theirs. The roads will be made of packed clay, and will connect
each village to all of the surrounding towns. The other villages
are quite excited about the new idea but your fellow advisors warn
against it. AcceptDeny
