Question

swimming products. Due to the increased complexity of the manufacturing process, you are interested in improving

the basic skills (e.g., math, reading, writing) of your employees. Two methods look promising—one involving webbased

training and the other involving the use of workbooks. The web-based approach would cost about $600,000

and the workbooks about $300,000.

you arrive at a conclusion about what to do?
