Sam Barnstable and Blue Sky Radio Devices
By: Felda Hardymon and Ann Leamon
Abstract
These three short vignettes depict investment professionals considering difficult financings for companies in their portfolios. For one reason or another, each company has under-performed expectations. Should the protagonist recommend that the firm participate or not, or should he try to revise it? Can the firm exercise any influence, and are the potential gains worth the time and effort that will be required?
