NeoMed Technologies developed a diagnostic device used for cardiac testing, and is headquartered in Ohio. They developed a CAD screen system to detect coronary artery disease. The company was founded in 2000 and is based in Cleveland, Ohio.
NeoMed Technologies was faced with a lot of difficult decisions at the beginning when it came to where their product would best fit and be most successful. They had developed a technology that could fit into many markets, but needed to choose a product path and market.
Their continued challenges occurred due to the changes in the market

Despite the added cost of the HeartCheck EBCT test, they were seeing success in the market.
One strategy change I would’ve considered early on was not applying all resources of their technology into one area.
NeoMed Technologies should’ve considered applying their initial product development to the technology of screening for drugs, drug delivery applications or detecting cancer. These areas would’ve possibly allowed for a quick to market product, without the additional approvals, quality standards applied in the medical equipment space, and FDA approvals needed. Bringing a simpler product to market first could’ve brought in revenue to fund the long-term product focus of a CAD screen system. The profits from a drug screening or drug delivery product could’ve assisted in funding their long-term product focus, they missed an opportunity to develop a quick revenue steam.
In addition, NeoMed Technologies could’ve seen success early on in the Homeland Defense space, for detection of nuclear weapons, or dirty bombs. With the shift later in Venture Capital funding opportunities, they could’ve experienced success in this area as well.
Bottom-line, they put all their eggs in one basket; they failed to have a backup product to develop a quick revenue stream to further fund their long-term goal. However, without a crystal ball that was a difficult decision.
There were clear signs of shifts in

The challenges faced by Nucleon, Inc. present more of an issue with how to take full advantage of an opportunity in front of them, rather than a problem that poses a threat to the company. As a company in its early stages, only putting out its first product, it is critical that it is done in a manner that allows the budding firm to grow. The main issue here is determining the most effective means by which they are to manufacture and market their first product, CRP-1. Doing so requires in-depth evaluation of three strategic options, all with their own benefits and potential risks. The problem statement, therefore, is as follows:
The acquisition and post-acquisition period for Mt. Mercy Hospital/Sister Mary Theresa’s purchase of Abbott Hospital experienced several organizational change issues. Within Dr. Belasen’s corporate communications model “CVFCC,” several quadrants became compromised. During the acquisition period, conflict arose within the realm of Investor Relations and Government Relations. Conflict continued to arise after the acquisition – specifically within the quadrant of Employee Relations.
The whole concept was a good one however their total business net profit has dropped steadily over the last two years, although gross revenue remains acceptable. They are at a loss to identify what has gone wrong and decide
This is a case about Eric Peterson, who was recently hired as a product manager in charge of sales and marketing of Biometra’s catheter. This product from Biometra, a subsidiary of Scientific Materials (SciMat), was the first product ever launched by Biometra and so its success was critical for both Biometra and SciMat. From the case we see that even though Eric Peterson tries hard to meet the product target launch date, there are several issues that he and the organization are experiencing.
Nucor must now consider the need to keep up with the changing dynamics of a globalized corporate world. Nucor already has a business model that proved to be successful in the American markets. Using the same business model, Nucor should now consider penetrating and exploiting other international markets that promise low costs of production and higher revenue generation such as India and China. This could be done by either setting up operations in those countries or getting into
The first reason I chose to invest in this company is because no person in the medical field had developed a product like this one it is a new innovative product in the medical world in which can change things dramatically for practicing surgeries, and even animal testing. Along with this being a new product no one else has ever developed this means there is virtually no other competition in which will compete for business. The medical industry is a billion dollar industry in which if this product becomes accepted in the medical world it can be the first step in making Syndaver labs the a major leading company in the medical world with the development of this product. This product is the first of its kind which means that it could possibly
In August, at the announcement of the group, Brin aspired to "move new technologies from early stage R&D to clinical testing-and, hopefully-transform the way we detect, prevent, and manage disease."
NME’s provide a higher return, but rarely make it to market compared to LCM products. The displacement of excess funds can either be invested into further research or be distributed to employees annually. If reinvested, additional capital could be used to further fund NME’s, or to market LCM’s. Evaluating individual projects and devoting special attention to their expected profitability or fit could produce alternatives as well. General Practitioner (GP), Niche, and Specialized products also offer additional lines of alternative products for evaluation and consideration.
