VIEW POINTS
The attitude of mind that must be used which will determine the opinions and judgements for this case analysis is that of a generalist, a person who has the aptitude, knowledge and skills in several areas as opposed to that of a specialist.

CENTRAL PROBLEM
• Emma Lathbury’s business was getting big for her to handle and because of this, she is experiencing burnout because handling it together with the internet business and workshops is already too much for her 52 year old body to do alone. It was too much for her to manage.
• Because of this, she is torn between whether she would focus on the internet enterprise alone, the tea room alone, devise a plan so that she can still juggle both or totally let go of all the facets of the growing business by selling it outright.
