【Summary】

Considering the defendant's ordinary losses and the poor performance of the IB department that caused it, there is managerial rationality in the decision to close the IB department to enhance performance. Consequently, the necessity for personnel restructuring of those who were affiliated with the IB department is acknowledged.

Since the plaintiff's managerial abilities are not deemed to be lacking, it is not possible to determine that transferring the plaintiff to other departments with job duties compatible with those of the IB department was impracticable.
