DESCRIPTION:

This is the first of an interesting case series that reads more like a saga of bureaucratic confusion. Iqbal Ahmed, a Director of AAL, was faced with the dilemma of whether or not to make a ¿100,000 non-refundable deposit with Austin Rover Group as a prerequisite for their joint venture. Considering the repeated and prolonged delays in project sanctioning by the government, Ahmed knew the deposit was a calculated risk.
