Lester Scholl's administrative assistant calls you on Monday afternoon to set up a conference call between you and the chairman tomorrow morning to discuss the board's reaction to your list and to discuss your next task. You call the number she gave you, and Lester joins the call shortly after."I'm pleased with your work," he says. The board was impressed with your list of factors.

"We want to see information about the gross domestic product (GDP), unemployment, interest rates, and inflation for both the United States and South Korea. Make sure your research is current; that is, no more than 6 months old.""I'll get started right away," you say."Very good," he says. "Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll put you in touch with some of the other members of the board if I can't provide the answers you need.""Great," you say. "Thank you.
