Oh, I don't know. When I went to B-school (twenty years ago already),
we were routinely told that when writing proposals to senior managers,
we always needed to include the options of "do nothing" and "retrench"
in any business analysis. When actually working out in the field,
especially as a consultant, such analyses tended to surprise older
managers, but were usually quite appreciated by the younger ones,
especially if trenchant reasons were put forward for either of those
options.
