Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. Is Ben Gibson acting legally? Is he acting ethically? Why or why not?

How do I do this? Down Creek Boots (DCB) is a boot manufacturer (fictitious) that focuses on making high-quality leather work boots, with prices ranging from $200-$350. After being successful in this market for over 30 years and developing a positive brand reputation and loyal customers, DCB has decided to broaden their line to include leather hiking boots. While these share some characteristics with work boots, the design will be slightly different and different soles will be used. They are fairly confident annual demand will be between 30,000 and 40,000 pairs in the first year, and expect a 10% growth rate in sales for the next few following years. However, in their plant in Minnesota, DCB currently has little excessive capacity. Thus, to make the new boots, DCB will either need to expand their plant, or outsource production to another boot maker. If they outsource production of the boots, they will outsource production to a firm that has the manufacturing capability to produce them…
