registered your resume with the career center on campus and you just received an e-mail<br />

offering you an interview with ABC Manufacturing Co., a large manufacturing firm.<br />

Following the advice of the career center, you decide to research the organization<br />

before you attend the interview. You are hoping to find out as much as you can about<br />

the company, its performance, and its culture before the interview. However, you are<br />

running late for the interview and only have a few minutes to do your research.<br />

including their location, length of time in business, and mission statement. Next, you<br />

locate their annual report and find the following about the firm’s performance:<br />
