  • Does Superior fit the definition of a small business or an entrepreneurial venture? Please explain.
  • Reconcile the executive team’s concerns regarding Texas’s poor performance with Figures 1–3 in the case. Complete a vertical analysis for both Superior without the Texas SBU and for the Texas SBU as a separate analysis.
  • Why has Texas struggled to be profitable? What does a vertical analysis of Superior’s financials suggest about the Texas operation versus Superior as a whole?
  • What are your recommendations for Superior and the Texas operation? Should the Texas operation be discontinued? Why, or why not? Based on your answer, describe how you would handle the human resource management (HRM) decisions related to your decision to keep or discontinue the Texas operation. Summarize how your analysis impacts HR activities.

In your analysis, you must propose one entrepreneurial action or solution (a nontraditional solution) that would benefit the company.
