1.) Marci and Jeff are having the problem of trying to decide wether they would like to relocate or stay at their current location.

2.) Marci and Jeff have the choices of either staying in the location in which they are currently at, relocating to another area, or even doing business through another business.

3.) ~When staying in the location they are currently at they have the advantage of keeping their loyal customers, not having to buy new equipment & not have to train new employees. Although the disadvantage is their business will no long expand.

5.) After they decide on their decision they should go for it.

Marcy and Jeff are facing problems with their store about them not being abe to find out if they should relocate, sell their products, or start up another business somewhere else.

The choices they must consider are hiring new employees, buying new equipment, and where will the new location be.

The disadvantages are that they dont know if they would make money due to them being in a different place. The advantade is that they can find new customers and hopefully make more money in their new location.

Them moving the business to a new location is the best choice because being in the business you have to take chances on trying to make money, so them moving will bring more and new customers.

Marcy and Jeff should just try out their new decision and see how it works for a while and if they are not sastified, then go with a new plan.

the choices to the solution is where to locate their business or enlarge it.the advantage of making a new business would be that it would bring more money. but a disadvantage would be the partners splitting up which in turn could just ruin the business as they might work well with each other. to enlarge it an bring more to it and advertise good that way money will keep cumming in.now they should organism the time n where everything go.

For the past three years, Marci and Jeff have operated a small bake shop in their suburban neighborhood.
Through their hard work and positive word-of-mouth advertising, the business has grown. Now Marci and
Jeff are exploring ways to expand the business. They like their current location and have built a loyal
customer base there, so they do not want to relocate. Since it is not possible to enlarge their current bake
shop, they have considered opening a second location in another part of town. This would give their
business exposure to new customers, but it would require them to lease space, purchase ovens and other
equipment, and hire and train new employees. Also, one of them probably would have to move to the new
location to oversee operations. Another option is for Marci and Jeff to sell their baked goods to other
businesses in town, such as restaurants and small grocery stores, for resale to their customers. That option
would allow both Marci and Jeff to remain in their current location, but it would require them to upgrade
their current ovens and add additional employees to handle the increased production. They also would
need to hire a salesman to contact local companies and purchase a delivery vehicle and hire a driver to
deliver the baked goods to locations around town. Use the steps in the decision-making process to help
Marci and Jeff decide which option to pursue.
