ZTC was founded in 1956 by a British national, Mr. Roy Smith, in a British colony then known as Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). The company’s core business was transporting copper from the mines in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) to Southern Rhodesia for onward transmission to overseas markets in Europe. This arrangement worked smoothly until 1965. On 11th November 1965, the white settlers in Southern Rhodesia, who were principally of British origin, unilaterally declared political independence from Britain. Most countries roundly condemned the action by the white settlers because not only were the white settlers a minority but the independence that had been declared was perceived to be for the whites and not the African black majority.

Advances in biological technology have enabled two research companies, Bio Labs, Inc. and Scientific Associates, to develop an insect-resistant corn seed. Neither company is financially strong enough to develop the distribution channels necessary to bring the product to world markets. World Agra Distributors, Inc. has negotiated contracts with both companies for the exclusive right to market their seed. Bio Labs signed an agreement to receive an annual royalty of $1,000,000. In contrast, Scientific Associates chose an agreement that provides for a royalty of $0.50 per pound of seed sold. Both agreements have a 10-year term. During Year 1, World Agra sold approximately 1,600,000 pounds of the Bio Labs, Inc. seed and 2,400,000 pounds of the Scientific Associates seed. Both types of seed were sold for $1.25 per pound. By the end of Year 1, it was apparent that the seed developed by Scientific Associates was superior. Although insect infestation was virtually nonexistent for both types of…

In 1983 the Bell telephone system, which operated as AT&T, was broken up, resulting in the creation of seven regional telephone companies. AT&T stock- holders received shares of the new companies and the continuing AT&T, which handled long distance services. Prior to the breakup, telephone service was a regu- lated public utility. That meant AT&T had a monopoly on the sale of its service, but couldn’t charge excessive prices due to government regulation. Regulated util- ities are classic examples of low risk–modest return companies. After the breakup, the “Baby Bells,” as they were called, were freed from many of the regulatory con- straints under which the Bell system had operated, and at the same time had a great deal of money.
