Abstract
Traces the development and strategic changes of a venture-funded start- up that runs into trouble when health care reimbursement policies change radically. With the help of its board, the company develops a new strategy, becomes profitable, and makes a public offering. The second wave of changes introduced by Clinton health care initiatives create the need for strategic reevaluation and operational changes.; Focus is on building flexibility to manage through industry structural changes, managing growth and expectations, and building a sustainable organization. Succession is a secondary issue.
