Two Executives at Lexar Corp

A) The technical requirements may change as the project develops.Because of that,a project leader should be chosen who is very versatile in terms of skills.
B) Since it is obvious that we have a lot of office furniture to move,we should get the largest truck possible.
C) Because the project that is planned requires both human relations and conceptual skills,we should hire two managers,one with strong human relations skills and one with strong conceptual skills.
D) If we choose a site for our sales conference that is close to our workplace we would save on travel costs,but some employees would probably prefer to travel to some exotic location that is far away.We can't meet both those goals,so let's focus on the goal that is easiest to accomplish.
E) We want the design of our new office building to impress visitors,but we can't possibly let that be the dominant factor in our decision since we only get a few visitors.So,we should save money by choosing an energy-efficient design for the building.
