Problem Statement
Kudler Fine Foods (KFF) is based at California and owned by Kathy Kudler. It has stores in La Jolla, De Mar and Encinitas.

The management team should be operating the store and only consolidating information with her from time to time seeking guidance on certain major issues. Kathy has a sense of a singular responsibility and...
