Valjibhai Stones is an India-based supplier of quality stone chips. A multinational company tapped Valjibhai Stones with regards to supplying quality stone chips over the next eight years. It was faced with deciding whether to accept the order which would necessitate capacity expansion to serve the multinational company but earn great revenue and, at the same time, letting go of all of its existing business which would result in looking for new business after the lapse of the eight years.
