Abstract
A small firm of marketing consultants is going through a rough patch and needs to cut their business overheads. Sue-Ellen, the owner of the business, tells her staff of eight that she wants them to put forward cost-cutting ideas. She points out to them all in a meeting that this does not include making anyone redundant and further, if the ideas are good, this may secure their jobs in the future.
