Q:Gogo Garments is a clothing manufacturer that has come under considerable competitive pressure over the last few years. However its fortunes improved a few years ago when it hired Kay Vance as its chief designer. Kay Vance has used various techniques to increase the speed to the market from original design to finished product, and has used the latest computer technology to create designs. She has recruited a team of designers who were keen to work for Gogo because of the reputation Kay Vance has.
Recently the chief executive of Gogo has been researching the possibility of re-locating production to China in order to save costs.
The levels of interest and power that Kay Vance has in relation to the decision are:
A. High interest; High power
B. High interest; Low power
C. Low interest; Low power
D. Low interest; High power
A:The correct answer is: High interest; High power.
Kay Vance clearly has a lot of interest in the decision. Even though she may not be forced to relocate to China herself, moving production may undermine the measures she has introduced.
As a lot of Gogo's success over the last few years seems to be due to her, if she and her team left, it could seriously undermine Gogo's competitive position. Hence the board need to ensure that she is happy with the decision to move production to China; hence she has high power.
