In its desire tо аccelerаte grоwth, Intuit leаders explоred a number of options. They noticed the rapid rise of cloud-based software companies like Dropbox and DocuSign and explored how they can offer similar value to their customers. Specifically, they began by exploring how to bring Docsign's e-signature capabilities to Intuit's customers. The company already had an internal development project to offer this capability, but the project was not moving as fast as the company has expected. It could continue developing the e-signature capability internally or decide to buy a company called HelloSign which had issued press releases about being ready to offer these features to cloud storage customers. Intuit CEO wondered whether to organically (internally develop and) roll out these capabilities or buy a company like HelloSign. Acquisitions were expensive (could cost $45 Million) and had a 75% chance of integration failure but had the potential to roll out the technology immediately. Internal development, on the other hand, was estimated to take one year to roll out the capability and cost $15M but free of any integration or related risks. Given Intuit's track record, it was estimated that e-signature could add $60M to annual revenues. How should Intuit creatively approach the development and rollout of e-signature capability? Assume we are living in times of negligible interest rates. (20 Points)
