After you review the six steps with Jim, he asks for an example of how to evaluate alternatives as he decides whether VoxSigns should lay off employees. Which of the following is the correct example to give to Jim? a. Jim would assess each option in terms of feasibility, satisfactoriness, and consequences; he will want to consider how difficult or costly each option would be to implement and whether each option would provide a satisfactory financial return.
b. Jim would decide that Gingerforge should keep its product line as it is to avoid the financial risk of making new products that may not sell, if its priority is to strictly adhere to its current budget and the company is risk averse.
c. Jim would make a list of actions Gingerforge might take, such as leaving its product line as it is, adding patio furniture, or deciding to enter some other niche market (such as manufacturing wrought-iron bird cages).
d. Jim would articulate the specific environmental stimulus the company needs to respond to: the entry of a competitor into the patio furniture market.
