A Visit with an Entrepreneur Case Solution
Step #1:
I am going to conduct an interview with Kim Morgan who is a successful entrepreneur. She had completed her MBA from Wharton. After completing her studies, she chose to become an entrepreneur. She started her business as a Broker in New York City and proved herself. She sold million dollar luxury apartments and properties to millionaires and made commission. Later on, she invested that commission to start new businesses and now she is running many companies. The purpose of this interview is to get some useful insights from entrepreneurs about her experience, what challenges she faced and how successful she is and what would she recommend to other entrepreneurs.
