Abstract
Describes the financing, strategy, and growth decisions facing fortu, a young German battery company. The company is contemplating a facility in East Germany, where state subsidies make the finances appealing. A sudden offer to license fortu technology for application in a very promising segment and the ensuing potential cash influx makes fortu examine alternative ways to build its first production plant.
