    business studies should undertake a project to examine the company’s options.
     Harness Technology - Optimal computer network support. As example, the
    company has been recommend to purchasing a computerized business system
    (CBS) that could perform the necessary work and integrate their existing manual
    systems.
     Give Decision-making Power to Workers - Access to accurate information and a
    clear understanding of policies and practices empowers people to make informed,
    competent decisions. As example, if new printing equipment was to be
    purchased,then this concerned Managing Director and the Printing Manager. If the
    issue was customers, then the Marketing and Design Manager would be involved.
