Anna, Lynn, and Jeff are thinking about moving their manufacturing facilities from the United States to China. Jeff is having trouble deciding what to do.
Anna: We need to decide already whether or not we want to move our manufacturing from the United States to China. Jeff, have you made the final decision?
Jeff: There are pros and cons to moving it to China. I've been back and forth on this issue for months. I'm of two minds.
Anna: Jeff, I know this is a tough call, but now is not the time to be wishy-washy. We need to make a decision.
Lynn: That's right, and I recommend we bite the bullet and move our operations to China.
Anna: Or we could test the waters by moving 25 percent of our operations there.
Lynn: Good idea. That would give us the best of both worlds: we could reduce our risk, while starting to enjoy some of the cost savings from lower-cost manufacturing.
Jeff: I agree with you that we should put a stake in the ground. Let's move a quarter of our operations to China.
Lynn: Good call, Jeff!
Jeff: I hope I don't live to regret this decision.
Anna: You won't. My gut tells me we're doing the right thing.
