• Articulate in one to two sentences Neil’s problem from your perspective. Supply evidence from the case to support your statement.

• Recommend an ideal action Neil can take and a likely action Neil will have to take. Provide evidence to back up your recommendations.
• Discuss whether or not Neil should consider initiating a penalty against Stinson Distribution Company in upcoming contract talks. Thoroughly explore the pros and cons.
