What are some of the problems related to output that the committee is experiencing? What suggestions do you have for improving output to the committee? How can the budget constraints of the zoo be met while still allowing the committee to receive the output it needs to function? Comment on the adequacy of the output technology that is currently in use at the zoo. Suggest alternatives or modifications to output and output technology that would enhance what is being done. Analyze both internal and external output requirements.

“Why can’t they get this right? It’s driving me to distraction. The zoo in Colombia is writing to me about a tiger that has been on loan from our place since 2002. They should be writing to Tulsa,” trumpets Ella Fant, waving a letter in the air. Ella is general curator in charge of the animal breeding program at the Gotham Zoo. She is talking with members of the zoo’s five-person committee about the proposals before them. The committee meets every month to decide which animals to loan to other zoos and which animals to get on loan so as to breed them.
