Summarize Argument
The author concludes that Grodex should probably conduct employee-training seminars using innovative educational methods. This is because children taught using innovative methods learn to think more creatively than children taught using other methods. In addition, most jobs at Grodex require the ability to think creatively, but don’t require a strong ability to memorize.
Notable Assumptions
The author assumes that the effects of innovative methods on children are similar to the effects such methods would have on employees at Grodex.

This compares seminars using the innovative methods vs. no seminars at all. But we’re interested in a comparison between seminars using the innovative methods vs. seminars that use other methods.

This strengthens by affirming the author’s assumption that the effects on children are similar to the effects innovative methods would have on employees at Grodex. If this assumption were not true, the argument wouldn’t be able to rely on the premise concerning children.
