1. As administrator of Greater Lewisville Health Services, a family health clinic, you have mailed an informative brochure to each patient that describes the need to receive the influenza vaccine. Although the flu season is approaching, very few patients have come in to receive their injections.

2. Karens Frozen Foods, Inc., is considering adding frozen breakfast pizza to its product line in an effort to overcome the flat profit line it has experienced for several years. The marketing staff intends to target the product to teenagers and working couples whose busy schedules require foods that can be heated quickly. Because all production facilities are currently operating at full capacity, introducing the frozen pizza will require adding production capacity.
