On the Global Thermostat Case Study

1. How will Global Technology's innovation impact its current industry, society, and stakeholders?

2. What will it take to grow Global Thermostat? Will GT's pilot tests and proof of concept activities provide sufficient evidence to attract the clients and funding they need to grow?

3. What technical challenges will GT face as it grows? Will GT be able to scale its processes to provide low-cost solutions that are needed for growth? If yes, what will this take? If not, what should they do now? What barriers to success will GT need to overcome for this technology to be successful in the marketplace?

4. Will GT be able to attract the right professional management to help design the systems and structures needed to formalize and guide their growth? Do they face obstacles in doing this?

5. Who should bear the primary responsibility for reducing CO2 emissions - rich countries or poor countries? What role should the industry play?

6. What will it take for a successful industry like the energy industry to change - will regulation work, or will a market solution like cap and trade be more effective?
