Abstract

The case puts the reader in the position of Scott Bekemeyer, whose search fund just acquired Valley Fire Protection Company. Immediately upon taking over the company, Scott faces a serious of difficult issues, including a deviant branch manager, a non-compete clause precluding expansion in an area of business he had hoped to grow, the acceleration of project deadlines for a development 250-miles out of town, and a newborn child and wife 400 miles away. Scott must prioritize the issues and deal with each one as quickly and effectively as possible.
