Throughout the discussion, our team relentlessly pressed for justification of SPT 2's three proposed solutions. Upon completing the discussion, solutions of establishing a labour union, multi-stakeholder negotiations, stakeholder investments, and improving better working conditions, which both team have in common, have been agreed to adopt as immediate measures for short-term goal achievement. Ethical Management Team also contributed on the case by suggesting compensations for postponing wage increases (providing stocks and shares, revising the hierarchy, leisure facilities and employee benefits).

With both teams agreeing that Integration of Automation could be the best possible long-term aim for our solution, we also tried to find a common ground for solutions that can be executed to mitigate the situation on a more immediate basis. EMT 4 and SPT 2 also showed agreement on the fact that given the current situation of the company, increasing the workers' wages right away is not just a possible option. We focused more on adopting compensations for this in the meanwhile.

The ultimate goal of Strategic Planning Team 2 (SPT 2) is generating profit. Based on profit, SPT 2's solutions are

1.  Creating labor unions,

2.  Investing in marketing, and

3.  Finding less sensitive countries.

We found that he overall views and motivation of the opposing team was solely based on the company's interests with very little concern on the ethical aspect.

As for allowing the establishment of the labor union, SPT 2 suggested that Hankook Textiles should see improvements in terms of minimum loss of profit, better communication, and reputation. Another solution, investing in marketing, was also suggested on the ability to make the public pay more attention to low prices rather than work conditions, exemplified with the situation of corporations such as SHEIN and H&M. Regrading the last solution, SPT 2 suggested that finding less sensitive countries, other than Laos, has many opportunities because a lot of governments will want Hankook Textiles factory with low wages. Therefore, This solution also accounts for minimum loss of profit. However, the withdrawal of Laos offshore facility and searching for other countries to invest does not sound like a credible or rational solution to our team. In addition, no precedence and not enough evidence was provided for this. And SPT 2 admitted the latter solution may cause social problems.

Points of Conflict between EMT4 and SPT2

Points of Conflict between EMT4 and SPT2

# data[].attributes.body
Conflicting Ideas between EMT 4 and SPT 2 is essentially profit (SPT 2) versus ethical balance (EMT 4). The essential point of conflict is this tension, but if we think about the points of conflict a little bit more, there are additionally two points of conflict in today's meeting.
The first detail is as follows:
SPT2: It is better to focus on image reform through marketing instead of raising wages since consumers focus on lower prices than the reputation of companies.
EMT4: Reputation is a matter that needs to be resolved through ethical practices rather than diversion of customers' attention.
The  second detail is as follows:
SPT2: This problem arises because Laos is sensitive to wages, so it should move to a country that is less sensitive to wages.
EMT4: Relocating a factory is actually more unreasonable because it has to suffer a large loss due mostly to re-offshoring.

Due to the fact that our team's approach in implementing some of our solutions have changed according to the peer review during Group Discussion II, we are essentially planning to concentrate more on the immediate short-term solutions we have adopted, most of the research in the following days will take place on this matter.
Furthermore, since our fundamental perspectives were proven to be valid arguments, we will pertain these in the presentation session to the board. With the solution of Integration of Automation being the most viable and pratical one yet, we will decide on several key datas to bring to Session 4.

On the F2F presentation preparation day (09/20, Wed), we will prepare the necessary steps in reference to the plan draft we provided in the previous padlet submission, which will be included here to serve as a checklist.
Session 4

1. Rework solutions based on the criticisms and agreements through Session 3 (DONE)

2. Research key datas for recent solutions and exchange opinions within the group

3. Reassess technical expertise for the presentation (Clickshare, etc.)

4. Script writing and receiving feedbacks

5. Powerpoint / visual materials preparation for the presentation material submission, and editing and providing feedbacks and comments

6. Rehearsal on time-management and Q&A session.

# data[].attributes.body
As strict as it may sound, our team's agreement criteria are based on:

1. the alignment of the proposed solution with our minimum conditions

2. the promotion of ethical unitarianism, and

3. reasearch studies and data evidences supporting the proposed solutions.

We carefully listened to the presentation and asked questions on their views and inquired evidences. Our team's opinions and values, i.e., to vouch for a more ethically-inclined resolution, has very few to no significant changes due primarily to the opposing team's lack of crucial data support, and ignorance on ethical concern in their arguments and persuasion.

Course of Inter-departmental Meeting
First, Strategic Planning Team 2 presented, then our team did. The opposing team suggested profit-seeking perspective as an only goal for a company. They suggested several solutions, such as allowing workers assembling a union, moving factories to other countries with less conflicts.
After both teams ended their presentations, each of the team members had time for the Q&A. Through the Q&A, both teams have proceeded to some initial agreements.

# data[].attributes.body
Both teams proceeded in a systematic manner, outlining such important topics as the problem analysis, values and perspectives as well as solutions and case studies.
Our main areas of debate include:

1. the orientation and direction of the company's goal; whether the ethical perspective or financial-centered profit-generating perspective should take precedence.

2. the option of increasing wages; where the management of consequential cash leakage, compensation via alternatives, and immediate goals were discussed. Both teams agreed that Hankook Textiles could not possibly fulfill the demands for wages easily and right away.
