I will pay for the following essay Unit 3/7: Management Research Project Stage 1 -Written Proposal-. The essay is to be 6 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page.

Primary data used come from surveys, experiments and CBM company information. Secondary data used are from published economics sources.

CNC – Bearbeitung Munzmann (CBM) is a company engaged in CNC – milling and turning products on contract basis. CBM was founded in 1998. At the moment, there are 20 employees and 4 trainees in CBM.

The company had a turnover of 1,600,000 Euros in 2008. Now, in 2009 its turnover has fallen to 930,000 Euros. CBM’s customers are Brose, Bosch, Siemens, machine constructing companies, engineers and ship building companies.

In 2009, it was 12.80 hours.

In the worsened economic situation, CMB should not capitulate or resign. This situation provides a chance to create new value for the organization. Since the turnover of CBM has fallen by more than 50%, there is a lot of unutilized capacity. This can be used for manufacturing other products. But the new field of activity must be near the focus of present activity of CMB. Presently, CMB is
