In early 2020, Trio Communications, an India-based wireless broadband service provider, acquired the controlling stake in Excel Web, a cable broadband service provider in semi-urban areas of southern India. A key productivity measure monitored by Trio is the number of broadband subscribers per employee. Consider the following data for Trio Communications for 2020: 

1. What are Trio’s 2019 productivity and 2020 productivity without Excel Web? 

2. What are Excel Web’s 2020 productivity and Trio’s 2020 productivity with Excel Web? 

3. What difficulties do you foresee if Trio brings Excel Web’s productivity in line?
