Restructuring at Digital Arts (Scenario)
Victor Lee is the founder and president of Digital Arts, a Vancouver-based company that makes games for popular electronic game consoles.

He explains, ''Twenty years ago we started with five people and one product. Today we are a global operation with 500 people employed in six countries producing over 200 game titles.''
