You run into a friend who has a new idea for a business or product every time you see him. This time, he is convinced he has invented a cutting-edge management system called "Beverage-Based Management," in which employees improve their performance by drinking high-caffeine energy drinks with a shot of vodka during their lunch breaks. Your friend provides research studies showing that caffeine can increase alertness and productivity, while alcohol can reduce inhibitions and increase communication between employees. You are skeptical of his idea but think some companies might buy his system (at least for comedy purposes). Your friend wants to get a patent on "Beverage-Based Management." Based on your reading in this module, do you think his idea could be patented? Explain why or why not. If you do not think a patent is possible, discuss if there would be another way to protect his "Beverage-Based Management" idea
