Production manager: The building materials that we produce meet industry safety codes but pose some safety risk. Since we have recently developed the technology to make a safer version of our product, we should stop producing our version in order to protect public safety.
Sales manager: If we stop selling our current product, we will have no money to develop and promote the safer product. We need to continue to sell the less‐safe product in to market the safer product successfully.
