Green Move
Employment at Green Move Three months ago I came to Green Move as a marketing person. During this time I was told that the product, Zero Pedal, which I need to expand the sales to the southwestern part of America, have a “glitch”. The product engineer Doug, who’s also my friend, claimed that the Zero Pedal will accelerates dangerously after the solar panels have been exposed to temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit for four hours. My predecessor also found this glitch, he present a cost per bike to fix the defect to the board. But Robert claims the report is incomplete and has a major divergent with my predecessor. Doug also told me that the Zero Pedal is entirely unregulated because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration cannot limit the production due to the reason of the bike is not “gas powered”. Generally speaking, I believe we need to fix this glitch before this product goes on shelves, so we can save time and money on “if we not fix the bike”. And the happy ending will be I can finish my job to expand the business and bring more profit to the company and raise my share. The first thing I will do is to collect information about how much we have to pay if this glitch becomes an accident. With this data I can provide a comparative result to Robert my boss. I will collect advise from product engineer Doug and other employee who know this glitch as my evidence. And also I could use the help from the Chief Technology Officer Viktor to provide some facts of this product to support my research result. I will try to find a solution to both fix the glitch and save company a big chunk of money. But I still have a huge pressure from the example of my predecessor. Hope I will not get fired on this like him. In the report I will recommend Robert to rather fix this problem than let it be and wait for the accident occurred, after that we need to spend more time, money and
