Case Study
Jose should probably stop production using the new material and continue with the standard material in order to keep the company running as before. As we learned from the text, a lot of money has already been spent trying to carry out research. Judging that the results could not be regarded as conclusive, it is necessary to reflect on the matter first. If the company must continue using the new material, then they should be prepared to spend more money carrying out research on the best way to reduce the effects to minimal. If there is no comparable advantage over the standard material, it does not make sense to pursue the venture. To continue this venture, they must design and implement steps to correct the variations. That is certainly not going to be possible just the following day. This time, they must bring things under tight control and carry out the process as it is supposed to be implemented by leaving sentiments out with regards to the amount of money already spent or otherwise abandon the process and lose the money used for research completely.
Now Jose does not need any more proof for the CEO to understand that he and Isabelle had been right that more research and testing were necessary for full production to take off. If it must continue, then they will have to produce on a much smaller scale while more testing and further control are going on. Businesses that take off on this note are bound for failure.
