2. Visualise that the Acetate Department is a column in the previous Workbook exercise. Examine goals, authority structure, kind of technology etc. as required by the exercise. Then regulate if the structure and other characteristics fit the technology.
3. Deliberate what improvements you would suggest to the Department appreciating that their financial investment in new technology cannot be turned back
