The HR Manager suggested that three of the managers and eight supervisors be sent to the mother company in Japan for updates in technology on car electronics. The Vice President for Finance and the Operation Manager opposed the recommendation on the basis of cost-cutting and lack of personnel to handle the operations while they were asway for two months.
