To influence the purchasing agent in his or her decision, vendors may grant the agent financial favors (cash, presents, football tickets, and so on). This activity can result in orders being placed with vendors that supply inferior products or charge excessive prices. Required: Describe the controls that an organization can employ to deal with kickbacks. Classify each control as either preventive, detective, or corrective.    2. A recent survey of institutional investors reveals that most of them want corporate boards to be composed of at least 75 percent independent directors.

Day 1/Chapter 1 Case Study: Guided Practice WILLIAMS MACHINE TOOL COMPANY For 85 years, the Williams Machine Tool Company had provided high-quality products to its clients, becoming the third largest U.S.-based machine tool company by 1990. The company was highly profitable and had an extremely low employee turnover rate. Pay and benefits were excellent. Between 1980 and 1990, the company's profits soared to record levels. The company's success was due to one product line of standard manufacturing machine tools. Williams spent most of its time and effort looking for ways to improve its bread-and-butter product line rather than to develop new products. The product line was so successful that companies were willing to modify their production lines around these machine tools rather than asking Williams for major modifications to the machine tools. By 1990, Williams Company was extremely complacent, expecting this phenomenal success with one product line to continue for 20 to 25 more…

(Gerken, 2006) As part of CEO Juszkiewicz's strategy to turn Gibson into an audio-related lifestyle brand, Gibson began to expand beyond the fretted instrument category with the acquisition of Slingerland Drums (1994) and Baldwin Piano & Organ Company (2001). Purchase of Deutsche Wurlitzer (2005) brought the Wurlitzer Jukebox and Vending Electronics to the company. The 2011 purchase of the Stanton Group became the basis of a new division, Gibson Pro…
