Answer to Question #95203 in Management for Kete Manning

Question

A survey of business professional revealed that most respondents reported that every effort should be made to resolve business problems in person. Why is this logical? Why is this problematic?

Answer 1

It is logical in the sense that in-person problem-solving reduces chances of re-occurrence of the same issue since it allows for continuous improvement or change management efforts, and experience. On the other hand, it can be problematic because the business professional might not be psychologically, physically or financially capable of adequately solving the problem given that it has occurred.
