Rochelle Phillips has to prepare a report to the management on the new production process she had been testing at Duro Industries. Duro was facing increased competition from foreign firms and there were fundamental ways in which brick companies managed their production process. Foreign firms were using vector drives in moving products through the process. The CEO of Duro wanted Rochelle to evaluate the feasibility of undertaking this new approach.

JJM needed FDA approval in order to market Pepcid AC and the FDA usually, but not always, followed the recommendation of its advisory committee. JJM had three options: (1) set up a meeting with the FDA and argue their case for the treatment and prevention claims and thereby preserve the opportunity to be first to market, (2) drop the prevention claim and thus increase the chances of being first to market, or (3) give up the opportunity to be first to market and improve their chances of FDA approval by collecting additional data to support their claims. See Exhibit 3 listing pros and cons of each option. Analyses In looking at the potential customers and market for Pepcid AC, it seems the customers have express a need for a product that lasts longer than the OTC antacids already on the market and that also help prevent heartburn symptoms before the start.

He was going to school for his MBA at Stanford in the early '60s, Knight took a class with Frank Shallenberger. He was assigned a semester-long project that was to devise a small business, including a marketing plan.

Shallenberger thought the idea was interesting, but certainly no business jackpot. Nothing more became of Knight's project but that’s where he got the idea for his company from.

One of the speakers was a doctor from Swedish Hospital’s Cancer Center. He was going through all the breakthroughs that had been accomplished in the last few years. When he came to the slide about an estrogen substitute made from soy that they had been experimenting with my ears perked up. Did it really work, was I going to be able to use this information?
