Answer to Question 1
Bounded problems are mainly those problems which are known as well as identified and
the possible solution is also known. On the other hand, unbounded problems are mainly those
which are totally unknown as well as unidentified. In case of an unbounded problem, possible
solution is also unknown. As per the B628 material seen by me which is provided, it can be seen
that the problem is known as well as identified. Move to a facility which is more expensive has
totally doubled the expenses if Frank for space and also the work loss has reduced the hour base
upon which the director Frank can spread his expenses which are fixed like space. Therefore, due
to this reason, it can be said that Frank’s problem is a bounded problem (Macário 2011). He is in
such a position that he can neither get back the lost work not he can relocate to the quarters
which are cheaper. There is a need that he should find other alternative option for achieving the
solution to the problem by thinking of some other way of solving the seen problem besides only
just fixing the cause of it (Sandberg and Targama 2007). Frank cannot act unwisely by just
complaining about the effect of moving to the new quarters on the high rates. Therefore, he must
find other suggestion receptive and say that the increased rates is posing a serious problem for
the customers and also for the future viability of finance of his part of division (Das 2017).
As per my view, it is required to make changes for implementing any solution and therefore it is
very much important to build commitment to the solution because it will help in developing
consensus regarding the problem definition (Lowe 2010). Therefore, Frank must arrange some
works which are reassigned from other division to that of his. This may have effects which will
be beneficial for expanding his productive hour’s base and thus rates will be lowered and
customers will be pleased. It is necessary to check whether his new rates are also lower than the

rates mentioned in the division from where he is going to obtain the extra work. His main move
is to shift the burden of the cost from the programs he recently supports to that of the ones which
are new. Once a solution has been thought of, it also becomes important to bring out a particular
plan of action for it as well.
Frank gets an idea and thought of reducing the expenses which are fixed by about
$225,000. The simplest way of doing it can be the reduction of the space amount which his part
of division occupies. He thought of dumping the 5000 square feet are which the group occupies
in other building at a rate of $43.50 which may have exactly the desired and expected rate on the
expenses and the rates of Frank. It is noticed that there is another problem as well. As Frank
raises the consolidation of space issue during the move, two different objections surfaced. First
objection is that the 15000 square feet area will not be able to accommodate all the staffs of the
division and the second objection is that some of the adjoining building programs require special
or extraordinary amount of space of table top at the main and the peak time of processing for
storing a number of trainee files history temporarily. Frank is very much confident about the fact
that the work loss and the associated nineteen percent of the reduction of staff will totally diffuse
any kind of objections about the area of 15000 square feet and thus be able to hold all the people
and his surety level is high about overcoming the objection regarding the space of table top
which is needed at the highest period of processing. As seen from the perspective, it is noticed
that the requirement of the table top space reflects the recent ways of looking at things. Frank
sees the table tops as a large and horizontal system of filing which is considered to be one
consuming a lot of the space of floor. One of the Frank’s associates of staff is researching the
availability as well as the sustainability of the systems of vertical filing. By the end of the week,
it is noticed that the verdict is in and the vertical systems of filing are available. They will work
