11. As the one of the largest grocery retailers
in Canada, Green has been reducing
prices to attract customers. However,
with the market continuingly slumping,
Green’s third-quarter revenue is 20%
lower than that in the same period last
year. The reduced margin has seriously
affected the normal operation of Green. For
Green to compete effectively in the market, I
recommend laying off 200 employees within the
next three months.
