Scenario 4 Sharon Gillespie, a new buyer at Visionex, Inc., was reviewing quotations for a tooling contract submitted by four suppliers. She was evaluating the quotes based on price, target quality levels, and delivery lead time promises. As she was working, her manager, Dave Cox, entered her office. He asked how everything was progressing and if she needed any help. She mentioned she was reviewing quotations from suppliers for a tooling contract. Dave asked who the interested suppliers were and if she had made a decision. Sharon indicated that one supplier, Apex, appeared to fit exactly the requirements Visionex had specified in the proposal. Dave told her to keep up the good work. Later that day Dave again visited Sharons office. He stated that he had done some research on the suppliers and felt that another supplier, Micron, appeared to have the best track record with Visionex. He pointed out that Sharons first choice was a new supplier to Visionex and there was some risk involved with that choice. Dave indicated that it would please him greatly if she selected Micron for the contract. The next day Sharon was having lunch with another buyer, Mark Smith. She mentioned the conversation with Dave and said she honestly felt that Apex was the best choice. When Mark asked Sharon who Dave preferred, she answered, Micron. At that point Mark rolled his eyes and shook his head. Sharon asked what the body language was all about. Mark replied, Look, I know youre new but you should know this. I heard last week that Daves brother-in-law is a new part owner of Micron. I was wondering how soon it would be before he started steering business to that company. He is not the straightest character. Sharon was shocked. After a few moments, she announced that her original choice was still the best selection. At that point Mark reminded Sharon that she was replacing a terminated buyer who did not go along with one of Daves previous preferred suppliers. Ethical decisions that affect a buyers ethical perspective usually involve the organizational environment, cultural environment, personal environment, and industry environment. Analyze this scenario using these four variables.

Charlotte and Mercedes both work at the Portland Furniture Mart-a large discount furniture retailer. Charlotte is a salesperson on the floor, and Mercedes is the company credit manager. The two women have known each other for years and have much in common: they live within two blocks of each other, and their oldest daughters attend the same middle school and are best friends.

QUESTION II: X–OPOLY, INC. X-Opoly, Inc., was founded by two first-year college students to produce a knockoff real estate board game similar to the popular Parker Brothers; game Monopoly®. Initially, the partners started the company just to produce a board game based on popular local landmarks in their small college town, as a way to help pay for their college expenses.

Scenario 3: A problem with paper You are a franchisee for Fatto’s Burger Palace in a small college town (“where friends meet to eat”). The specialties of the house are the “Giant Burger Supreme” and the “Hound Doggie,” both of which contain 26% or less fat. Business is good, especially when the college dietician decides to put soy stew on the menu in the dining halls. Recently, agitation by environmental extremists has forced the restaurant to abandon the convenient clam shell boxes of polystyrene in favor of paper boxes. The latter are a little more expensive, but take up less space. They are somewhat difficult and time-consuming to fold. Customers are now complaining about the oil stains on the inside of the burger box. Water tends to seep through and make the package limp in some cases. This has required putting more napkins in each order. In addition, the blazing red Fatto’s symbol on the top of the boxes now has fuzzy edges, whereas it was sharp and crisp on the clam shell boxes.…
