Green Mountain Resort Case Analysis
The Green Mountain Resort case is a perfect one for us to work together as a class on the different images for change and how they are reflected (or could have been reflected) in that case. We will cover multiple facets of this throughout the week but to start, let?s talk about the role that Gunter plays in our case study this week:

2. How did Gunter use that image to ?lead? the company through this change?
