(Upgrade offer)
-Obtained $150 million of 100 engine kits from Eureka for free of charge with the original contract.
-Engine kits contain four parts, fans, compressors, frames and new LT turbine.

3. WIN from my position as A. Delling, VP of Finance at Eureka

 Wish
To keep the original contract of $1billion is his wish. Euroka can make profits of 20% ($200). Even after the concession of 100 engine kits worth $150 million, there will be $50 million left. Company can put the profit to development costs for a new turbine and new engine. It will contribute to increase sales to other customers.

 Interest
He would like to restructure the deal in order to reduce the cost of development. The new LT turbine has cost Eureka $50 million to develop but not been ready to market. Similarly, the C-323 engine has cost $25 million and still not been ready to use. To make an agreement to provide C-323 became a risk. As the JX5 engine costs no development cost, he would like to exclude C-323 from the new agreement. He also wants to remove LT turbine from the upgrade

6. Prioritized interest
For Euroka, it will be important how they keep the profitability and reduce the development cost.

But it isn't just straightforward enumeration of facts as one would think. Galbraith has got quite a distinct style which is soaked in humour and sarcasm, while still retaining its charm and delight.…
