Introduction
Imagine that you are the owner of a small floor refinishing business that provides a specialty coating product for ceramic tile and marble floors. There is no
other local flooring business that provides this service. Having recently received a patent on your product, you are ready to expand your business by
competing for Navy contracts at the local base, which is located a few miles away. The services you want to sell are the specialty coating, the application of
the coating, and a regular maintenance schedule. Your company consists of you, one office assistant, and two production employees.
