Discussion Post: Capital Project Successes and Failures
• For your first topic in this discussion, briefly review from either your personal experiences and/or research an actual capital project/product success and the reasons attributed to the success. This can be a new product line, additional locations, new facilities, or any other expansion project. Please briefly describe the project, the pertinent company and demographic information, and what made this a success financially and operationally.
• Now, flip that coin, and discuss a product or project flop. There are many available in a web search, or you can discuss any product/business failures you are personally familiar with. Again, briefly describe the product/project, the pertinent company and demographic information, and what made factors contributed to this failure?
• Discuss generally and specifically to these examples what factors contribute to the success of capital projects, expansions, or new product development?
