Debrief Rounds 2 and 3 Part A Based on the undertakings in Round 2 and 3, one apparent issue is about the choice of the product that significantly impacted on the inventory. My investment was mostly on achieving the highest number of products within a specified period, prompting me to even use an emergency loan. However, based on the result in the inventory that highlights unsold products,  I could have taken into account the role played by the market. With the correct market analysis, I could have established the demand for the products and came out with sufficient supply volume, which matches the demand. Again, the market share still remains optimum. The main aim of the production was to achieve a market share that is proportionate to the number of goods produced. However, with a market share of below 10 percent, there is a need to sell the remaining products at an optimum cost to clear the inventory and effectively achieve sustainable growth and improve the market share. The other lesson learned is that emergency loans should not be used…

Response to Alesandro Cafferata’s post  I appreciate your insight into the problem of climate change. I agree that more developed countries have a greater responsibility in addressing environmental problems since their contribution to the problem is relatively more significant. Your discussion has a good perspective on who is responsible for environmental issues. It is justifiable that industrialized countries like the US and Germany should be at the forefront of addressing ecological problems. However, I think that the responsibility for solving environmental issues should not just be left to the industrialized countries only. For instance, these countries may come up with laws and policies aimed to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.  It is true that economic activities hurt the environment, and therefore, the developing countries should undertake sustainable development. Response to Daniel Perez’s post             I like your discussion about the tragedy of the common. You bring excellent points about problems resulting as a result of the overconsumption of resources. Your discussing has given me a better understanding of the concept. Your discussion is well detailed from highlighting the cause…
