Důvod, proč je naše firma žalována za nedodržení smluvních závazků a opomenutí z nedbalosti, je, že jsme
nedostatečně zhodnotili rizika, zahájili jsme zkušební projekt bez schválení a přidělení zdrojů. Také náš subdodavatel
neskončil svoji práci včas a šrouboval ceny nahoru.
Po převzetí naší firmy konkurencí se samozřejmě sloučila i reklamní oddělení. Bylo obtížné ustanovit společné cíle a
postup, protože zatímco my jsme do té doby používali reklamní poštu a sponsoring sportovních událostí, oni díky
daleko vyššímu rozpočtu utráceli za televizní reklamu a propagaci svých výrobků ve filmech.
