2. DECISION OF GARY HABERLAND
• Gary Haberland made a good decision as mentioned in the case GENICON was a
start-up company, and to grow and diversify, new markets should be explored and
should be developed.
• International markets was expected to grow at much faster rate than 5% then USA.
• Also, according to GENICON business plan, growth rate was estimated much higher,
and the next reason for barrier to gain market share in USA was that the distribution

• And also, we suggest GENICON to keep a link with the USA market as, this will help
GENICON to develop themselves when they become an established company.
