Analysis
In addressing the case materials the following observations are being evaluated. An assumption is a proposition that is taken for granted, in other words, that is treated for the sake of a given discussion as if it were known to be true. In logic, more specifically in the context of natural deduction systems, an assumption is made in the expectation that it will be discharged in due course via a separate argument (2006). Assumptions seem to cause undue stress and ruin commaderie between teammates at AcuScan. Each Kelly, Pat, Cliff and Chris have made assumptions based on their conversations and email exchanges in regards to the iScanner product line. Each assumption will be acknowledged, explained and will be signified as sound vs. unsound as well as logical vs. emotional in nature. Delineating the assumptions will assist in properly addressing them to alleviate future problems.
