Today, your manager (Mr. Smith) reveals that you will be assigned to a team/group to assist the company with its quest to implement a new clothing line of women's swimsuits. He explains to you that the team/group should research the procedure for implementing a new clothing line and explain the models and heuristics that would help the company get the new clothing line of women's swimsuits running.

The first step in this project is to discuss which of the business procedures would work best for the company's implementation of the new line of women's swimsuits using the Small Group Discussion Board. Each member should submit his or her own ideas, but the business procedure should be chosen by consensus. The team/group should combine each member's contributions and decide on a particular strategic option.

The team/group should divide all the research up fairly, so each member of the group is doing the same amount of work. All business procedures, models, and heuristics must be covered. The team/group should also elect one member to be the group leader. The group leader will submit the final group portion of the project.
