This case challenges decision-makers to reach a fast, yet effective, resolution. The underlying problems that led to a crisis at Ottawa Valley Food Products (OVFP) also need to be addressed in order to prevent the recurrence of this kind of generalized reaction in the future. It is fairly clear that ten women would not walk off the job over a trivial, isolated incident; thus there needs to be a deeper investigation of the causes of the current crisis. Because this company's products are geared toward a target composed in the majority by women, Jennings needs to avert any press coverage which will bring the company's treatment of women into question.
