1. What is the most important problem facing the Byte Products, Inc.?

The most important problem facing byte is how they will increase production without hurting the reputation of the company or building a economy and then destroying it in three years leaving over twelve hundred people unemployed and with invaluable housing and property.

If a share holder gets upset that there is a little fall in the market and jump the gun and sells it there will always be some one out there that is waiting for the perfect opportunity to pick up some stock and invest in it.
