What might additional investigation Wheeling and Zeitland undertake before settling on a plan of action?

Case Summary / Introduction:

In this mini case, there is a company RTZ corporation that approached Wheeling's consulting firm for surveying areas of improvement by showing manager and the company strengths and weakness and scoring managers on the basis of their employee engagement, their workload distribution, their reputation among their employees and overall as a manager. Zeitland from Wheeling's consulting asked employees to be brutally honest while giving scoring and feedback about their managers.

The Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Agreement is a relatively new and evolving agreement aimed at boosting intra-African trade (Sullivan, 2023). The AfCFTA faces several unique challenges due to its diverse member countries, eachwith distinct regulatory frameworks, infrastructure levels, and economic conditions (Miller & Kessler, 2023).
