Read the following scenario and answer the question in 5–10 sentences. You are the manager of a medium-sized paper sales company. The paper market has been stagnant for the last several years. Therefore, you are analyzing the possible restructuring of your current staff to help improve efficiency and the quality of your services. Specifically, the supplier purchases team needs a fresh evaluation. Currently, Keeler Pansing is a rising star, known for her keen eye for determining the superiority of paper and finding great values. Her attendance of outside training and obtainment of multiple certifications in paper purchasing are primary contributors to her success. The present lead purchaser, Katie Lackey, has held the position for the last ten years and, at the age of 57, is 20 years Keeler's senior.

I already checked with Harbaugh's controller and he has agreed to the arrangement. Not only will we obtain the financing we need, but the third quarter's before-tax profits will be increased by $56,000, the…
