Abstract

Dawn Stokes founded and was successful as CEO of Texas Driving Experience, a company that provided driving lessons, both safety-based for teens, and high-performance racecar driving for individual thrill seekers and corporate events. Although the company had done well, economic hard times were beginning to take their toll. What aspects of the business should Stokes focus on? And would a policy of aggressive geographic expansion make sense?
