What kind of responses should the mangers of Texaco and Social have made to each of the three resolutions? Justify your answer fully.
The managers of Texaco should have made these three resolutions their top priority to solve.

So the mangers of Texaco should ensure that each resolution will lead to bigger and better things for the company, workers, and government
