• Why is it a good time for the company to explore this opportunity now?   
• What are the short term and long term goals?
• Does this product or service support the company Mission, Vision and Core Values.  (Yes/No and why?  Be sure to include the company mission and vision statements in your response).

Your initial response to the discussion question should be 300-400 words.
