A lack of solid planning and forecasting has resulted in Byte's current facilities shortage. Construction on a facility that will take three years to complete should not begin when current facilities are working at 100% capacity around the clock, and demand continues to escalate. The state-of-the-art facility, to be located in the southwestern United States, will supply enough capacity to meet demand when it opens in three years, but it does nothing to stem the tide of the current crisis. Management's concern that Byte's market leadership is in jeopardy is valid, but they opened the door to new competition by their lack of foresight.

Elliott, Byte's CEO, is now ready to undertake a stop-gap measure, but once again without enough concern for the future. Several stop-gap measures were proposed by Elliott's staff. One stop-gap

measure revolves around the renovation of an abandoned factory in New England. Renovation can inexpensively be completed in three months, and attractive lease terms are available because the facility has been abandoned for eight years.

Elliott is aware of some problems with the proposed plant. The plant would never be an efficient producer of Byte products. Profitability would be low for several reasons. High labor costs due to a strong union presence in the area, warehousing expenses, and inadequate transportation links to Byte's major markets and suppliers would all contribute to higher costs and lower margins. However, the New England plant would be closed in three years when the new plant opened.

Another option available to Byte is licensing, both domestic and international, of Byte product and process technology. Domestic licensing would result in higher production costs and lower margins, since the higher costs could not be passed on to the customer without losing market share. International licensing goes against Byte's philosophy of remaining a domestic operation. Additionally, patent issues could not be properly protected in the international environment. Finally, both domestic and international licensing could result in lower product quality, another threat to Byte's market share.

Considering the other options suggested to him by his staff, Elliott has chosen the temporary New England plant as the stop-gap solution. As Elliott prepares his presentation for the Board of Directors, of which he is a member, he anticipates little, if any, opposition to his proposal.

Opposition did come in the single, but very strong voice of Kevin Williams, an outside director, who vehemently opposed the temporary facility on the basis of corporate responsibility. Williams stated the influx of workers and their families, approximately 4,000 people, would seriously disrupt the small New England community. New schools, businesses, hospitals, housing and retail establishments would be necessary to care for the new Byte employees. If the temporary nature of the facility were known, the local government and banking community would not be forthcoming with the funds required to capitalize those projects. If Byte hid the temporary nature of the facility, the funding for the projects would be supplied, but in three years when the plant closed, and the community could become an unemployed ghost town. Williams concluded that it was not a legal issue, but a moral responsibility.

Examining the issue from an objective position, several items appear to require discussion. The temporary plant may supply enough product to meet demand, but the location is far away from the market. This may ultimately cause distribution and service problems. For the employee, the temporary plant is not a good solution. Not knowing the job is temporary, many employees may begin to make a permanent home for their families, buy houses, set down roots. When the layoffs begin due to the plant closing, the employees will be the ones to suffer. Knowing the job is temporary might encourage apathy among workers that could lead to lower quality products. It is clear that Byte would not be doing a public or community service by opening the plant, but that is not a corporation's main concern. The question is whether or not the new facility would meet the four top priorities.

The location of the temporary plant tends to make it ineffective. Lack of warehousing facilities and transportation systems add to the ineffectiveness of the plant. Elliott has already stated the renovated plant would never be an efficient producer of Byte products. If the temporary nature of the facility is known, then morale is sure to be low. It appears that even the top four priorities of a corporation are not met by this solution.

Employee relationships may be difficult to manage. The strong union presence would require complex negotiations and labor contracts. Legal issues might arise if the closing of Byte's plant violates a Union agreement.

A thoughtful consideration of all the issues involved with the opening of the temporary plant in New England reveals much conflicting information. In some ways, as compared with licensing, the temporary plant seems like the solution. In other ways it seems like Byte would just be starting more problems. Both licensing and the temporary plant share the same drawbacks: high production costs and lower margins. The temporary plant does not have to deal with control over the operation. In a shared facility, Byte would not have much control over production.

Recommendations

Opening a new temporary plant may be an ideal answer to the lack of capacity, but the New England location is far from ideal. Elliott must weigh the problems associated with the new plant against the benefits of increased capacity. If all forecasts confirm the need for the increased capacity before the new state-of-the-art facility opens in three years, then perhaps Elliott should seek an alternative location. Since the new plant will be located in the Southwest, perhaps temporary space can be found there. Another alternative would be to plan production of the new plant to open in stages. Perhaps that would forestall some of the demand requirements. A third alternative would be to try to locate manufacturing space nearby one of the existing Byte facilities. When the temporary plant would close, job opportunities could be found in the permanent facilities. Production efficiency might increase production at the existing facilities. If no other alternative is available, then Byte should be up front about the temporary nature of the work. Byte might have to offer assistance to workers in the form of housing or credit. Byte might also guarantee jobs in the new Southwestern plant to any worker willing to relocate. Byte must see the opening of the temporary plant as a means to stop the erosion of the market share, but not as a way to increase profit margins. Understanding that the facility would never boost the bottom line is necessary. Sacrifices might, or must, be made by Byte if they go with the New England plant.

Amazon.com was named after the Amazon River, which is one of the largest rivers in the world. Founder Jeff Bezos chose the name because he intended for his company to become the largest online store in the world, just as the Amazon River is the largest river. It is not directly named after the mythical Amazon warriors.

There is no evidence to suggest that the Publishers Information Bureau Prize Report is a scam. However, it is always important to do your own research and gather information from reliable sources before investing time or money.

Be careful.

I'm seeing several different agencies with roughly similar names here. This may mean one real site, with several trying to scam off of their good name. Or it could all be fake.

Here's the thing - just don't send money or your credit card number. And frankly, I'm concerned about how some ask for a copy of your parent's tax return for proof of poverty.

I get that verification is needed, but it's the net, they should know that would be a concern.

One easy way out of the quandary is to ask an College Admissions office about them. They'll know which of the sites is real. If any.

Please ensure that any communication from the institution is legitimate and not a scam. It's uncommon for legitimate sweepstakes or commission disbursement institutions to require payment or personal information to claim an award. Verify the credibility of the institution before proceeding with any requests for payment or personal details.
