Alternatives
Larry has several different options to choose from with respect to research studies that can be completed. As long as he stays at or under his $15,000 budget he can request that any combination of studies be completed by Mason and Associates. Larry was presented with 9 different research studies that may be of assistance to him in deciding whether or not this truly is a ‘golden’ opportunity.

Analysis Summary
Main Problems
Two issues are present in the case. The first is a decision on what research should be conducted by Manson and Associates to allow Larry Brownlow to estimate the feasibility of a Coors beer distributorship for a two-county area in Delaware. This issue is evident, even stressed, throughout the case. The second issue is a decision on whether or not the distributorship is feasible or, in other words, a go/no-go decision by Brownlow regarding his application. This issue is largely implicit in the case.

The Problem(s). Manson and Associates was doing a research to determine market potential of a Coors beer distributorship for a two-county area in southern Delaware on behalf of Larry Brownlow so Larry could find the answer for the following question:
While employed at the Hershey Chocolate USA, Turners claims have been essential accommodation on defendant. In this case the looking the material facts in the light most favorable to the Turner, it is difficult to conclude the material of the law, based on the evidence that Turners directly threaten to its employees or place an “Undue hardship” on Hershey. Therefore, the question whether Turners can perform the essential function of her position with reasonable accommodation is an open material fact for trial. Hershey will have a opportunities at trial to defeat Turners claim by presenting that her proposed accommodation would make vulnerable the health safety of its employees therefore an employer is not requires to accommodate an employee. Moreover, According to Buskirk, 307 F.3d at 168 case that it would carry out an undue hardship that even with the accommodation Turner would still be unable to perform work on lines 8 and 9. This matter should be used by a jury based upon fully developed evidence

Throughout most of its history, the Coors Brewing Company (Coors) has been a regionalized brewer within the United States, specializing in high-quality beer through by virtue of its source water selection, stringent production standards, and cold filtered brewing approach. As the company expanded its distribution to new markets within the U.S. in attempt to gain market share, it made a strategic decision to maintain a majority of its brewing operations at its primary production facility in Golden, Colorado. This decision was based upon the desire to preserve its core production strengths through close family control. However, as the company desires to expand its market presence beyond the
The situation facing Mr. Larry Brownlow is a tough one. He is young with minimal money to work with. This shows that he must be careful and research all of his investing activities closely. The problem that faces him is deciding if opening a Coors Beer brewery in his area of Delaware is a profitable investment. The beer is obviously not widely carried in the area so that makes the situation that much harder. He has less information to work with. This is why he contacted the Manson Research Firm. That presents the second problem. The firm will do the research to help do a feasibility analysis, but the information is not cheap. Larry is working with about two weeks until the deadline to submit an application for distributorship. He
All of these studies were important information to start this distributorship in southern Delaware, but some studies were more vital to obtain than the others. There were a few options for Brownlow to do. One, he could perform no research on his own and only purchase research from Manson; doing this by, getting a loan from the bank. Two, he could perform some research on his own and purchase the remaining research from Manson. The last option would be to purchase none of the studies from Manson’s research proposal and research everything on his own.

Coors began to make a strong surge to compete with the other brands of beer during much of the mid 1900s. Their brewery was staying extremely busy and producing large amounts of beer. Coors also did things a little different compared to other breweries. All of their costs seemed to be at a minimal level and sales were continuing to climb. The company appeared to be going in the right direction. Coors was only operating one brewery and appeared to be doing great in the industry. The brewery was operating effectively and efficiently. The performance of the company was continuing to do well up until about 1977 (Adolf Coors in the Brewing Industry). Times began to change and performance was lacking. The
