Case Summary:

Ken Bodine, the sales manager and the skills of the young sales staff he had hired were responsible for the rapid growth of Pace Technologies. Bodine had hired his top grads staff from two major business schools in the area.

Prompt: All entrepreneurs have the ability to do good with their organizations and bring honor and glory to the Lord. A Christian entrepreneur should see opportunities where they can do good with the organization they have designed and use it for good.Doing all of this in a joyful and winsome way brings honor to the Lord (Hebrews 13:15-17).

We should be salt and light in all of our business interactions and how we operate our business (Matthew 5:13-16). How does doing good with yourorganization and being salt and light tie into our discussion related to providing quality service during those moments of truth with our clients? What can the verses in Hebrews, Matthew, or any other verses you can find teach us about providing good quality and our interactions with customers?

All grown-up, the boys decided that they should start making some serious money to provide for their expanding families. The boys decided that they salvage small scrap metal pieces, nuts, and bolts from junkyards and salvage yards which Harry would design and Dick would cast and weld into decorative art pieces. Tom will raise money from friends and family and look for distribution channels. Dick has a step-daughter, Dorothy, who is 16 and mechanically inclined as well. Dorothy could be Dick’s apprentice. Harry’s wife, Helen, is a recent BBA graduate from Yorkville University specializing in marketing and she could be recruited to help with sales and marketing. Helen’s good friend, Fern, is an award winning designer with a national home decor chain who the group might be able to induce to join them. Tom’s twin brother, Tim,…
