In the 1960s, Britain and France decided to
jointly fund and build a supersonic transport that became known as the

Concorde. Then, discuss how the sunk costs and an escalation of commitment
affected their decisions.

During the Cold War and post-Cold War eras,
the United States and the Soviet Union have been competing with one another in
attempts to gain a strategic advantage over one another. The Strategic Defense
Initiative (SDI) was born out of that competition. Discuss the SDI and how the
United States and the Soviet Union applied the competitive escalation paradigm.

Throughout its existence, Saturn has never
turned a profit for General Motors. Research the history of Saturn and GMs

play in GMs decision? If so, how?
