Try Aggregates

A young entrepreneur has recently taken over control of the company, a subsidiary of Try Recycling. Try Aggregates (Try) mines grade-A gravel, grade-B gravel and sand from its pit in Ontario. The entrepreneur is faced with several decisions related to product/markets, business systems, and in bound and out bound phases of the value chain which will shape the company's financial future. The key strategic and operational decisions included: (1) Should the company continue to pursue large government projects? (2) What should be done with excess sand? (3) Should Try purchase or lease equipment? (4) Should Try pursue selling gravel in 50 pound bags?
