Learning Objective
This entrepreneurship case has two main objectives: ·To introduce students to the pros and cons of entering into a licensing agreement by illustrating that licensing can be a powerful partnership opportunity, but one that is not without costs.To prompt students to consider how licensing can fit with an entrepreneurial firm’s short- and long-term strategies and priorities, not only by helping students learn about licensing generally, but also by illustrating how small entrepreneurial firms may be at a comparative disadvantage in negotiations.
