You are writing a recommendation report on which vendor of audiovisual services to hire for your company's annual conference. The three vendors you considered are Adams, MicMasters, and Zenith. You concluded that Zenith was by far the best option, followed by Adams and then MicMasters, both of which were barely satisfactory. However, you have just learned that the top two managers at Zenith, with whom you met, have left the company. The personal service provided by these managers was a big factor in your positive assessment of the company. What recommendation should you make now?
A) Recommend Zenith anyway.
B) Recommend the next best company, Adams.
C) Recommend postponing a decision until you know more about the new management at Zenith.
D) Recommend starting over on the report.

The departure of the top two managers at Zenith could potentially have a major impact on the quality of their services. It would be wise to wait until more information is available about their replacements before making a recommendation. Recommending Adams, the next best option, could be a viable alternative, but it is important to thoroughly evaluate all options before making a decision. Starting over on the report is unnecessary at this point.
