Read the Harvard Business Review case Holding Fast by John T. Gourville linked here: HBR Bus Case: Holding Fast Next, imagine you are the CEO of this company.

If so, in what manner and with what guidelines? Be specific in detailing all elements. If not, what will your approach be for the market? Be specific in detailing all elements. . Hint: I am expecting you to demonstrate how your approach will address/manage the many issues you have identified. 3. Create a formatted list of pros and cons of your decision. Include how your decision will affect your current business model and future business prospects. 4. What key learnings did you take from analyzing this case?Crescordia's products are respected the world over. Now, rivals have launched a radical- albeit still buggy - new technology.

Even Walsh had to admit that, were he a sur- gcon, he might occasionally take the risk of using a resorbable. But Walsh wasn't a surgeon. He was the CEO of a company whose products were respected throughout the indus- try. Thanks to decades of refusing to compromise on quality, there were or- thopedic surgeons out there who used nothing but Crescordia hardware.
