Abstract
Med Electronic, Inc. is a medium-size company that specializes in electronic apparatus that is used in the treatment of pain and in other electronic devices used by hospitals. The machines have been custom made to the particular needs of the user department or physician. Some basic components are used in all its devices, but no two machines are similar. This has caused problems when machines come in for repair because documentation and specifications for a particular machine may be difficult to find. Med Electronics’ performance has been stable for some time, and the owners have been pleased with its performance. The employees are either engineers or highly trained technicians. Med Electronic has had a stable share of the world market for its particular products.
