Case 11-2 At Last! Copies of the Next Year's Branch Office Budget

Case 11-2
At last! Copies of the next year's branch office budget workbook are ready for distribution to all the branch office managers. Each manager will edit next year's budget projections for their office's operations, as necessary, and then return his or her edited copy of the workbook to you. The branch offices are located around the country; two branch office managers have resource limitations that determine which distribution method you must use.
-The new branch office in Albuquerque, New Mexico is scheduled to be completely staffed and the office facilities ready for occupation in about three weeks. In the meantime, the branch office manager is working out of her hotel room with her laptop and limited Internet access, primarily for email. Because you need her budget data by next Monday, you decide that the most efficient and effective way to collaborate on the budget data with her is to ____.

A) attach a copy of the budget workbook to an email message and request that she return her edited workbook as an email attachment by next Monday
B) place a copy of the budget workbook on a DVD and mail the DVD to her; ask her to mail the edited workbook DVD back to you by next Monday
C) share the workbook over the company network and ask her to access the workbook by logging on to the network
D) ask her to send the budget numbers to you in an email message; you will make the edits for her
