After thoroughly reading the "Managing a Global Team: Greg James at Sun Microsystems, Inc. (A)". answer the following question:
What is the problem or the opportunity?
Be specific. Whenever you can, quantify. Describe the problem or opportunity in monetary terms, because the proposal itself will include a budget of some sort and you want to convince your readers that spending money on what you propose is smart. Be positive. In other words, don’t say that a problem is slowing down production; say that it is costing $4,500 a day in lost productivity.
