			<description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;These Materials Were Developed by . . .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Dr. Leon Winer, who is Emeritus
Professor of Marketing and Entrepreneurship at Pace University. These instructions were originally
prepared for helping students at Pace University to analyze business
case studies, to influence, negotiate, network and write business
plans. They were developed and refined over a period of years.
Thousands of students and business managers have used them and found
them useful. This material is offered free of charge.&lt;br&gt;
