　　Finally, the claim that Cumquat made a mistake in moving may be too hasty, since the conclusion is based on only one years business at the new location. Moreover, given the time it ordinarily takes for a business to develop a new customer base in a new location, the fact that Cumquats volume of business is about the same as before it moved tends to show that the move was a good decision, not a mistake.

Lacking information about the number of employees surveyed and the number of respondents, it is impossible to assess the validity of the results. For example, if 200 employees were surveyed but only two responded, the conclusion that most of the employees ranked employee-management communication as the most pressing issue would be highly suspect. Because the argument offers no evidence that would rule out interpretations such as this, the survey results are insufficient to support the authors conclusion.
