Your assignment is to read the case and identify the problems that, in your opinion, Karen Carlin and the firm of Hepplewhite and Boyce will have to confront, and suggest solutions to those problems in a five page, double-spaced paper. The format for this case is the same as case # 1. Only the topic has changed. You will present your findings to the class in a five minute presentation with slides.
