Hmm, tough call. I'm leaning towards the R&D manager, but the factory building is a close second. Either way, they're going to have a tough time with this decision.

Ha! A sales director who's 'well known and popular' - that's a good one. As if that matters for asset specificity. I'm going with the high-tech filling machines, those sound like a real pain to replace.

I'd say the factory building designed for manufacturing light bulb filaments is the best answer. That kind of specialized infrastructure is a major investment that they'd need to consider carefully.
