Alternative Course of Action 3: Improve business and investment strategies
Improving business strategies might have saved the company’s profitability as they will be able to tactfully assess the company’s investment decisions. This is time efficient because the firm only needs to update and improve their existing business strategies, although its sustainability is low because the firm is already on the brink of bankruptcy and it is still uncertain if the firm’s new strategies will solve the crisis the company had experienced Also, improving strategies will assess the increasing cash outflow of the company through the years.
This course of action considering the company's status would most likely not help the company in time for it takes a considerably long time of research and huge amount of data not just from within the company but also of competitors to come up with a better business and investment strategy that would be feasible in the long run.
