Today’s decision

Option Facts Pros Cons

Approve Commercial – bldg. project

- Intro. by DA (30 yr)- competitor: local

- Add Clientele - Use efficiency of territory A (comm.)- Chance to optimize operations- Partner with growing developer

- Unavail. of staff- For territory A, only one nature of biz.- The schedules were tight, with less slack availability

Persuade Hospital chain

- Territory A has not built hospital in 10 yr- In hospital domain, it takes time till materialization of project.

- Gain expertise in separate field (Demand in hospital field is non-cyclic)- Strengthen staff- Train youngsters

- No/less previous experience- Would consume entire staff for months- Deal with new subs - Estimation where territory has less exp.

Today’s decision

1. The group should persuade Hospital business. Reason: (a) Train new staff (b) Easily augment staff (c) less recession effect.

2. The second preference should be given to building up capacity for co-ordination with territories to meet target of “Goodnight Hotels”

3. Subsequently plan and rig-up manpower available at territory A, to not to miss opportunity like of commercial building (where territory is already proficient)

4. Ask GM reason for not seeking prior approval of project.
