YEAR 1:

Betty：(think more about it)I have already given you my opinion on your performance this year. To repeat, think more about where the consensus number comes from and how believable it is.

Doug: (同上)I have already given you my opinion on your performance this year. To repeat, think about how certain options can affect demand uncertainty.

Meryl:not give. I will not be able to give you my vote this year. I am not sure you have the best production planning strategy yet. You should think about you choice of suppliers, capacity allocation, and production flexibility.

总结 Meryl: We hope that our feedback will help you as you plan your production for the next year. Please keep in mind that there often is no one right answer to success and that it is often impossible to satisfy all of us at the same time.
