Dave is an executive at a large company. He is concerned that other businesses in his industry have been moving some of their operations to foreign countries in order to cut down on labor costs. The CEO has asked Dave to make a recommendation on what the company should do.
Dave always acts in the company's best interest.
For what reason might Dave recommend not moving operations overseas?
A. The cost of labor is much lower overseas, so the company could save money by moving its operations.(This one can't be it as it says "not" moving overseas.)
B. The company was given tax incentives to keep their operations local that cancel out their expected savings. (I think this is this one as it makes the most sense to me.)
C. Dave's brother is a factory worker and would lose his job as a result of moving operations overseas. (This can't be it because the question states: Dave always acts in the company's best interest.")
D. Dave knew that competitors with new foreign operations maintained high customer satisfaction.(On this one I ain't sure)
B is right,
And thank you for explaining your reasoning.
I think your correct Ecclessis.
Your welcome, Ms. Sue.
good job!
To determine the reason why Dave might recommend not moving operations overseas, we need to evaluate each option and consider the information given.
Option A suggests that the company could save money by moving operations overseas. However, the question asks for a reason why Dave might recommend not moving overseas, so we can eliminate this option.
Option B states that the company was given tax incentives to keep their operations local, which cancel out their expected savings. This option aligns with Dave's duty to act in the company's best interest. If the tax incentives outweigh the potential cost savings from moving operations overseas, Dave may recommend keeping the operations local.
Option C is not a valid reason as it contradicts the information provided. Dave always acts in the company's best interest, so personal considerations regarding his brother's job security should not influence his recommendation.
Option D introduces new information about competitors maintaining high customer satisfaction with their foreign operations. While this information may be relevant when weighing the pros and cons of moving operations overseas, it is not explicitly stated whether this factor would influence Dave's recommendation. Therefore, we cannot conclude that Option D is the reason Dave might recommend not moving operations overseas based solely on the given information.
Considering the above analysis, the most plausible option is B: The company was given tax incentives to keep their operations local that cancel out their expected savings.
