Management

The DoorCo Corporation is a leading manufacturer of garage doors. DoorCo is considering establishing a wood door operations in one of three states, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Illinois. After they make the decision, all wood doors will be manufactured in the selected location and shipped to distribution centers or major customers. Key considerations in this decision are costs (such as transportation, labor, and production) at the three locations.

Complicating matters is the fact that marketing is predicting a decline in the demand for wood doors. The company developed two scenarios: a. Demand falls slightly. b. Demand falls sharply. The following table shows the total costs (payoffs are costs) under each decision and scenario.

Determine the best choice under the Aggressive strategy.

Enter your answer as:

• 1, if the best choice is Indiana
• 2, if the best choice is Wisconsin
• 3, if the best choice is Illinois

Attention: Payoff values in various questions might be different.
