Scenаriо #3                 "Sо thаt's аbоut it, boss. It's hard to see where else we cut costs. The quality of the materials gets much lower if we try to save money there. The supply chain is about as efficient as we can make it. Retailers won't take a smaller cut of each sale, or at least most of them won't. We need the marketing—we saw what happened when we cut that budget last year. We have to move the manufacturing operation so that we can cut wages for the line workers if we're going to increase our margins."                 "I suppose," Carol said as she looked at the power point yet again. Her stare lingered on the highlighted figures. One read "Current—$0.65 USD / hour". The other read "Future (proposed)—$0.30 USD / hour."                 The subordinate continued. "It adds up, boss. 2000 workers, 60 hours per week. Two million a year in labor costs saved, more or less. Not bad."                 "I know it adds up. But Carl..." Carol tried to think of how to put it. "Look, I toured the facility we're using now a couple of years ago. Those people seemed to be doing...OK...on 65 cents an hour. I mean, they weren't living well, but they didn't seem malnourished, or in distress. But I can't help wondering what their lives would be like on half—actually a little less than half—of that wage."                 "Well, two things, boss," said the subordinate. "First off, the cost of living is lower in the country where we'd be relocating. Food, in particular, is subsidized by the government there, and it costs less. And second, almost all of our competitors have already made the move—30 cents an hour is becoming standard. They are finding workers eager to take any wage at all."                 "I know they fill their labor needs, and that we probably could as well. I'm just wondering if it's worth it to save two million dollars. I mean, my salary alone is a significant fraction of that."                 "True. But listen, consider a guy in a village near the facility we'd be operating. As it stands now, his income is zero, or at least his regular income is zero. There are no jobs. He maybe has a vegetable garden, he maybe does odd jobs once in a while to make a little bit of money, but his prospects are bleak. Now, imagine that we come in. He can get a job and make $20 a week, every week. This isn't much by our standards, but it buys food for his family. It keeps a permanent roof over his head. He's better off."                 "Maybe..."                 "And so is the company. Profits go up, and so does our share price."                 "Not by much. Not on saving $2 million dollars."                 "OK, maybe not much. But not by zero, either. This is low hanging fruit, in my opinion, and almost everyone else in the industry has already grabbed it."                 Carol sighed. "I'll think it over. Thank you, Ben."
