Final Answer :
The two issues are (1) view product design from a "systems" perspective, and (2) consider the life cycle of the product. The first issue causes managers to go beyond "what is best or cheapest for the firm?" The second causes managers to address environmental concerns over the life of the product, not just at time of manufacture.
