The scenario presented in the case study titled Reflex Systems concerns an all too common managerial dilemma encountered by Henry Rankin, a project leader in the company's information technology (IT) department responsible for overseeing the implementation of an upgraded system of customer relationship management (CRM) software. With a national sales force of 310 employees and major regional sales offices in both Los Angeles and Chicago, Reflex Systems is a viable enterprise within the wider exercise equipment industry, but the company's inability to provide effective customer service has significantly reduced the rate of follow-up sales.

Not even once did he take a break to peep into his heart and the way he was feeling and neither did he complain about the challenges he faced throughout the war.
