In this analysis we will review a case titled “The Dilemma at the Public Service Department.” We will be discussing different issues, amongst them are: opinions on the honesty, malfeasance, misfeasance, nonfeasance, accountability, competence, and why these particular responsibilities are identified. We will also discuss certain trade-offs made by the commissioner’s loyalty to the department as well as the governor, and public interest. We will also be discussing three barriers when it comes to deciding how the governor will be approached, along with the basic elements that are recommended in strategic management planning.
What would happen if Z CORP executives took David's suggestion and presented their problem to the city (if it is a problem)? Would city bureaucrats spot Z CORP's financial difficulties and attempt to work out a reasonable agreement with Z CORP? If Z CORP executives knew the city would be willing to do an agreement - perhaps by providing Z CORP added tax relief - they would not hesitate with David's suggestion. It is unknown to how the city of Gilbane would respond to this situation, but assumptions as to how the city would react can have a great influence on an executive's position on what should be done.

There are plenty other vitamins that are sold or prescribed that do not have folic acid and do the same job as a Vitamin B12. All of the drugs given to pregnant women and chemicals that they are exposed to can be avoided or the medicines can be taken in a more natural form like certain vitamins.
