    If Jack ever gets out of Room, he will be mentally ahead of his age because his mother has been with him this whole time to teach him, and he is above his current grade level in learning. However, Jack will be socially and physically behind his own age. Jack has only communicated with his mother his whole life and has not developed social skills. Also, Jack will be physically behind due to the lack of nutrition and from being trapped in an 11X11 room. I think with time Jack will develop social skills and mentally be the same as his own age, but I think he will always be behind physically.…

    Some of the reasoning given by the board why Napoli was the right choice was, he developed the business plan which was approved by the board in addition he also had contacts with market experts and local consultants however most importantly the Board had trust in him. Napoli’s India plan was simple, he wanted to sell 50 elevators in first year and break even after four years and generate double digit margins, to achieve this plan he wanted to focus on low rise segment as primary target and may pick up midrise segment as and when opportunity arises. Low rise market was 35 % of elevator market and midrise was 14 %. He wanted to achieve this by selling only core standardized product (S001) with no possibility of customization for low rise and S300P for midrise segment. On the cost side, he wanted to keep cost down by outsourcing all manufacturing and logistics activities to local suppliers. Eight months into the operations he was facing major challenges as he had not sold even a single elevator and he was also facing challenges on cost escalations. Let’s examine each challenge and give recommendation for improving them;…
