CVWarehouse (B): Breaking the Deadlock
This case B cannot be taught as a stand-alone case, but is a direct continuation of the FocusCase "CVWarehouse (A): Offline- and Online-Adventures in the Recruitment Industry".
This second part illustrated the decisions the entrepreneur took during crisis and how she resolved the deadlock of her companies by the current investors. The case illustrates how she is trying (and eventually succeeding) to sell one of her business in order to buy out the investors from her other company on which she wants to focus in the future. But the whole process is very complex as the buyer of the company is trying to pull out in the last minute and our case protagonist has to go through a nerve-wracking process with high personal risk in order to secure the deal and be able to continue with one business that she fully owns.
