Question
Lisa currently manages the polished chrome division of Whispering Broadway, a business that specializes in ceiling light fixtures. Its
performance has been stable for the past few years. However, the crystal division has been losing market share, while the rustic iron
and chrome divisions have been growing. For the most part, executives feel that these changes are a result of customer preferences
and current trends versus the quality or prices of their products. While they expect preferences to return to the crystal product line in
the next five years, a short-term decision must be made now.
