Abstract
Despite estimates that chemical dependency in the workplace is a $100 billion per year problem, many managers are unable or unwilling to recognise it. There are, though, a number of specific job performance related signs that an employee is addicted to drugs or alcohol. Additionally, the informed manager can watch for certain personality and behavioural changes that indicate chemical dependency. Drug testing is sometimes effective, but it has many drawbacks.

Abstract
The student's task is to develop a comprehensive strategy for Briggs & Stratton, which is facing severe competition and margin pressures. A major component of the strategy to be considered is whether to implement economic value added (EVA) as a new performance measurement for management. The case is designed to serve as an introduction to how to compute and use EVA. It emphasizes the importance of performance evaluation as part of a larger strategic plan. A teaching note is available to registered faculty, as well as two video supplements to enhance student learning.
