How to allocate capital for various products/divisions?

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

Repost from Globe and Mail |  May 16, 2013

Williams and White Machinery is faced with tough decision on where to allocate capital among its three divisions:   manufacturing shop, equipment, and robotics.  Will it be on robotics  - the future, the least capital intensive of all the businesses?

What are the options?

l.  Hold a strategic review?

2.  Find more capital (VC or loans as usual)

3. Talk to key customers?
