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?

It was decided by the plant management that they must paint the plant. General paint costs ₱350 per gallon and covers 350 sq ft per gallon. The manufacturers claims that it will last 4 years and can be applied at a rate of 100 sq ft per hour. Boysen paint costs ₱500 per gallon and covers 500 sq ft per gallon. It will last for 5 years and can be applied at a rate of 125 sq ft per hour. If the painter is paid ₱50.00 per hour, which should be used?
Grain dust is pound for pound more explosive than coal dust or gunpowder. Ignited by an electrostatic discharge or other cause, it has ripped apart grain silos and has killed or wounded many workers over the years. When 54 people were killed during Christmas week 1977, grain handlers and the U.S. government finally decided to combat dust accumulation.10 Ten years, 59 deaths, and 317 serious injuries later, a compromise standard was agreed on that designates dust accumulation of one-eighth inch or more as dangerous and impermissible in silos in the United States. Nevertheless, on Monday, June 8, 1998, a series of explosions killed seven workers performing routine maintenance at one of the largest grain elevators in the world, demolishing one of the 246 concrete, 120-feet-high silos that stretch over a length of one-half mile in Haysville, Kansas. Discuss grain facility explosions as a case study of workplace safety and rule making: Which ideas concerning acceptable risk apply here? My…
The Nespresso product was a system that allowed the consumer to produce a cup of espresso coffee at home. Though simple and use, it took Nestlé more than ten years to develop it. The system consisted of two parts: a coffee capsule and a machine. The coffee capsule was hermetically sealed in aluminum and contained 5g of roast and ground coffee. The machine consists of four parts –a handle, a water container, a pump, and an electric heating system. These four parts were cast into the body and formed the machine. The new product was introduced in 1986. The original strategy adopted by Nestle was to set up a joint venture with a Swiss-based distributor called Sobal to sell the new product. This joint venture (named Sobal-Nespresso) was supposed to purchase the machines from another Swiss company (called Turmix), the coffee capsules from Nestlé, and then distribute and sell everything as a system one product, one price. Offices and restaurants were targeted as the customers and a separate…

NewTel is a telephone company with a policy of filling positions internally through promotions, rather than hiring from outside. Until recently, the company had a strong engineering focus and tended to promote people to senior executive positions from the engineering areas. Consequently, almost all of the company's 14 senior executives joined the company over 20 years ago as junior engineers. There is increasing pressure on NewTel to become more market and service oriented. As a result, four people were hired last year from firms to fill new senior executive positions in marketing and service departments. The external hires were necessary because current employees were not sufficiently qualified. Now, there are signs of tension among senior executives, particularly during budget deliberations where there is limited discretionary spending on new corporate activities. The four new hires have been thwarted in their attempts to have the company invest more in marketing and customer…
(a) Which of the following would best describe the reasoning of the physicians prescribing placebos in the Times article and why? Would this reasoning correspond to the principle of double effect and why? X: Prescribing a placebo Y: Alleviate patient pain Z: Deceive the patient I am doing X in order to Z, and Y results. I am doing X in order to Y, and Z results (b) To what extent are patients in the Times article giving their informed consent? As I’ve encouraged in the lecture notes, it is useful to think of informed consent in terms of the four components of autonomy enumerated in Chapter 1. Do the patients to whom these placebos are prescribed exhibit all of those components? Why or why not? (c) Would withholding information from the patients in the Times article be justified under either of the two exceptions to disclosure outlined in Canterbury v. Spence?
