Product Details

Marjorie Burnett, who runs a clothing outlet with lagging revenues in Tennessee, is considering taking a gamble on starting a new business. She has to decide whether expansion—offering even more products—is the answer to increasing her revenue, and whether would that decision be more profitable than her present business, given that the storefront she's considering is in a relatively unpopulated rural area. Would a new business be worth the investment, or should she stick with the business—and the risks—she already knows?
