As part of its restructuring, corporate headquarters of Widgit
Manufacturing, Inc. will be closing your office and relocating work groups
to its remaining sites. Your group has been one of the most successful
teams, and the executives have told you that you will have to transfer.
However, they have given your group a choice of whether to move your
department to the Nebraska, Mississippi, or Rhode Island office.
Unfortunately, you only have until the end of the week to decide.
Therefore, as quickly as possible, your group must learn as much as you
can about all locations. While mindful of your individual priorities,
you'll need to reach consensus on a recommendation.
Each group will explore information resources on the World Wide Web and
in books in order to compare the states with respect to:
- Cost of living
- Local economy
- Real estate costs
- Neighborhoods
- School system
- Hospitals and health care system
- Climate
- Local/state politics
- Public transportation and roads
- Environmental issues
- Cultural/recreation opportunities
- Others?
Your group must:
- Determine which are most important to them (you probably don't have
time to investigate all of them)
- Decide how to complete the task most efficiently.
- Conduct the search and gather information
- Prepare a PowerPoint presentation to convince the corporate office
which location you chose and provide rationale.
