(b)Joanna Pauly was delighted to see that her ROI figures had increased for the third straight year. she was sure that her campaign to lower costs and use machinery more efficiently enabling her factories to sell several older machines was the reason why Joanna planned to take full credit for the improvements at her semiannual performance review.
(c)Gil Rodriguez sales manager for computer works was not pleased with a memo from headquarter detailing the recent cost increase for the laser printer line. headquarters suggest raising prices. great thought Gil an increase in price will kill sales and revenue will go down. why can't the plant shape up and cut cost like every other company in America is doing why turn this into my problem?
