Abstract	A fictional California company, Ellis Frost Recycling, Inc., (Frost), founded in 1994, has established itself as one of the world’s largest electronic recycling firms. The company recycles obsolete computer and high-tech electronic equipment, and is ready to expand its operations. However, recycling opportunities in the U.S. have stagnated. Businesses want to recycle their old equipment, but not now. They want to plan for it in a few years, but not now. Bonnie Frost, CEO of Frost, and her strategic advisors, have come up with an ambitious scenario: They will attempt to expand to where environmental issues are hot and ubiquitous — France. French waste management industries want (and are now required by the European Union) to avoid more landfill creation, minimize the amount of waste going into landfills, and recover, re-use, and recycle as much as possible. Bonnie Frost and two of her top advisors will travel to France in June 2001, to begin the negotiation process.
