1. For 12 years you and Earl Saunders created Emmet & Saunders into a very successful business publishing professional manuals. Now Earl has just told you that he will be leaving next month to study the art of zen meditation at the Kin Hin Zen Centre in Thiruvananthapuram, India. He will study the art of peace for the next year, in the hope that he will acquire a more centered lifestyle "away from the trappings of wealth and havingness".

1. Discuss the structure of the business as it is now, and what if anything you will need to do to sustain the business now that Earl is determined to leave.
