Question
Chapter 3, Problem 8DQ
Summary Introduction
To Explain:
Two U.S. companies are competing to take over a Large factory in the Czech Republic, one delegation tours the facility and asks questions about how the plant might be run more efficiently. The other delegation focuses on ways to improve the working conditions and produce a better product. Which delegation do you think is more likely to succeed with the plant? Why? What information would you want to collect to decide whether to acquire the plant for your company?
Introduction:
The day has gone when business men used to buy a factory by just paying the amount. This is also not possible in case of large factory specially if it has thousands of employees. Because the government worries about their people so they will allow only those deal which will bring some good things for their people. So in future also people centric decisions will have to take if you really want to grow.
