Abstract
The president of exclamation.com, Canada''s first Internet incubator, must assess a number of strategic alternatives for the company before meeting with his partners. There are four issues that the company needs to resolve: (1) Should exclamation raise funds through a public listing, or continue to manage and finance the incubator as a private corporation?; (2) Should it develop business in the European Internet market or focus on North America?; (3) Should the partners rely on externally generated business plans as the company''s pipeline for ideas or develop their own business ideas into stand-alone operating companies?; and (4) Should exclamation push to further develop the business plans it had already identified as potential winners, or should it first focus on building the incubator itself?
