Julia wanted to test out a new product for her company. she scheduled several small group lunches and learns with internal staff and then a few town hall meetings with external clients and the community. she wanted to make sure that product would meet the needs of the consumers, but also would be a product that the staff would be excited to produce. because julia chose to seek input from others, what type of managerial role do you think she prefers to play?

Suppose that a candy maker owns a building and is renting part of the building's space to a doctor. further suppose that because the candy maker is the owner, he has the right to make noise during the day while he makes candy. while the doctor cannot insist on a quiet environment, the doctor could move to a quieter building. however, rent in the next best building is $350/month more than rent in the noisy building. the candy maker can adopt a new technology that eliminates the noise for $275/month. given this situation, can the doctor find a private solution with the candy maker that will make both better off?
