tion. The specific scenario covered in this exercise includes the following changes:
■
The Research and Engineering departments have been combined to form a department
known as Research and Development (RD).
■
The Sales department has been moved from the Corporate headquarters office to the
New York office.
■
The Marketing department has been moved from the Corporate headquarters office to
the Chicago office.
