ness decisions: should they spawn satellite pubs; should they venture into the catering business; and should they have on or off-site merchandising? Right about here is where the class projects of Denise Hall, Kim Kessler, Shirley Falley and Carmel Chavez come into play. The four women are enrolled in Soukup's Entrepreneurship and In- trapreneurship class - one of four courses in USD's fledgling Venture Management Degree Program. "We will use their projects as re- sources to impact the project," Kannenberg said. "We will treat them ~o differently than outside consulting firms. I look forward to seeing their results." Well, they'll be treated almost no differently than outside consul- tants. Foote won't be paying the students. Denise Hall, who together with Kessler is researching the possibil- ity of establishing satellite pubs, has spent 10 hours a week putting together demographic studies, market studies and financial forecasts since the project was assigned in September. "Someday it would be wonderful to open my own busines ," she said. "That's why I took the class, so I wouldn't have my hands tied behind my back for lack of infor- mation.''
