In 2010, the Australian Government announced a proposed overhaul of the taxation regime governing its large mining sector. The announcement came at a time when Australia’s mining industry was booming but concerns were also growing about how to distribute the gains of the mining boom between mining companies and the Australian people, and how to harness the success in the mining sector to promote long term sustainable economic growth across Australia. It was partly to address these concerns, as well as to improve the efficiency of the way in which mining was taxed, that the tax reform proposal was developed. At the heart of the proposal was a shift from a volume based royalty system of taxation to a system based on mining companies’ profits.

Focusing on Xstrata, the largest foreign mining company operating in Australia, the case charts how the mining industry acted collectively to conduct a wide-ranging and aggressive public and private lobbying campaign against the tax. Central to this campaign was the use of traditional and new media – newspapers, radio, television, internet, and social networking sites – to try and turn public opinion against the tax. This campaign successfully sowed doubts into the minds of many and attracted support from the political opposition, and other business groups outside of the mining sector

Viajes Nobel had a spectacular growth in the last few years, even after the debacle of September 11. However, in 2007 and after 23 years in business, they faced a new crossroads about the future of their growth. The partners, siblings Roberto and Antonio, couldn’t reach an agreement over topics such as the use of internet, whether or not to diversify and enter the inbound business by organizing local trips in Spain for foreigners and even about the desirable rate of growth, because they didn’t agree how this could affect their exclusivity and tailor-made trips identity.

It was necessary to clarify priorities and define a common project in which everyone felt comfortable. But where should they start?
