Executive Summary
TerraCog was specialized in high quality Global Positioning System equipment. The company had to decide whether to immediately launch our product Aerial or not. Because of the departmental issues and personal conflicts, we were unable to reach a conclusion. Either we had to launch the product with current specifications or had to extent the date of launch with cost reductions. If we delay the launch, we might lose our customers as well as market share.
