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. What should Sharon do in this situation?

Part 2: Please read the following scenarios. For each scenario, identify the confound and suggest how it might be removed in a follow-up experiment.

The researchers labeled the glasses with only an "M" (Pepsi) or a "Q" (Coke) and asked the participants to indicate which they preferred. The research showed that subjects overwhelmingly preferred glass "M" over glass "Q." Why can’t the researchers conclude that Pepsi was preferred to Coke?

Her support needs include getting out of bed in the morning, washing, dressing and getting ready for the day and support with getting into bed in the evening. Martha Jayasekera enjoys going out with friends and working part time, as a counsellor for young adults with physical disabilities in a local community support centre. The home care organisation who delivers her service are requested to come and support her to go to bed at 10 p.m. but the carers frequently arrive at 7p.m. to perform this service and have continued to do this despite Martha’s complaints. When asked why this happens the care service says a lot of the staff do not wish to work such late hours and feel unsafe in the area around Martha’s flat.

Case Study: 2 Satyam Computers’ Corporate Governance Fiasco case study This case study captures the events that occurred between January 7th,2009, and January 10th 2009. On January 7th, 2009, very surprisingly the CEO, B. Ramalinga Raju released a press statement confessing that the books of accounts were tampered with and the income figures in the last few years were inflated. More interesting, rather amusing, was his admission that no one else was involved in this entire episode and taking the onerous responsibility on himself. And this confession triggered off a series of events resulting in the arrest of B. Ramalinga Raju on January 10th, 2009. This debacle at Satyam Computers proved that the rewards, recognition, and accolades for following the best practices in corporate governance by themselves are not ultimate proof of corporate governance principles being practiced in letter and spirit. However, one question remains unanswerable. When the CEO assumes the entire responsibility…
