Tiffany and Mike, we need to provide a more detailed analysis,$$ you explain. $$You$$ve done a great job so far looking at what resources we need and potential countries, but we need to really dig deeper on this.$$

Tiffany nods her head in agreement. $$Definitely$,$ she says. $$We need to look at some internal variables as well as political, environmental, sociocultural, and technological environments of the countries that we are considering.$$

Mike interjects, $$Well$,$ that$$s something we should consider, but it$$s not the only way to analyze this type of project. This is such a big decision, and we need to give as much information as we can.$$

You reply, $$Great point, Mike. We should look at this from a couple of different angles.$$
