2. The long-term financial stability of big multinational companies is in clear danger. As competition in the market intensifies, directors tend to put more emphasis on immediate rather than far-off benefits and judge the rest of the personnel on the same quick-advantage principle. As a result, seeking immediate improvement, managers often make populist decisions which can prove detrimental to the well-being of the company in the long run.

E: the first is a piece of evidence used to support the argument’s main conclusion set out in the second
