Garnett Jackson, the founder, and CEO of Tech Tune-Ups, stared out the window as he finished his customary peanut butter and jelly sandwich, contemplating the dilemma currently facing his firm.

To introduce the VK, the company will require significant outside investment. Nick has made the decision to seek…

The following are some selected quotes from senior executives: CEO, Worthington Industries fa high technology steel company): "We try to find the best technology, stay ahead of the competition, and serve the customer.... We’ll make any investment that will pay back quickly... but if it is something that we really see as a must down the road, payback is not going to be that important." Chairman of Amgen Inc. (a biotech company): “You cannot really run the numbers, do net present value calculations, because the uncertainties are really gigantic. ... You decide on a project you want to run, and then you run the numbers [as a reality check on your assumptions]. Success in a business like this is much more dependent on tracking rather than on predicting, much more dependent on seeing results over time, tracking and adjusting and readjusting, much more dynamic, much more flexible." Chief Financial Officer of Merck & Co., Inc. (a pharmaceutical company):"... at the individual product…
