In 2007 San Francisco began its Healthy San Francisco Plan designed to provide health care for all San Francisco citizens. In 2007, it was estimated that San Francisco had 82,000 uninsured citizens. Under the plan, all uninsured citizens residing in San Francisco can seek care at the city's public and private clinics and hospitals. The basic coverage includes lab work, x-rays, surgery, and preventative care. The city plans to pay for this $203 million coverage by rerouting the $104 million the city currently spends treating the uninsured in the emergency rooms, mandating business contributions, and requiring income-adjusted enrollment fees. The plan requires all businesses with more than 20 employees to contribute a percentage toward the plan. Many business owners consider this a burden and warn they will not stay in the city. The Mayor sees universal health access as a moral obligation for the city.

- 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?arrow_forwardScenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner.

How insurance companies can manage this conflict? What startegies they should have, except One strategy to manage this conflict is to follow in Allstate’s footsteps by pairing local agents with each online transaction (Stackpole, 2001). Even if the agent’s interaction in the process is minimal, they are still afforded the commission (Stackpole, 2001). This strategy is a win-win situation: customers have the option of purchasing insurance online and enjoying the ease with which that can occur while insurance agents will still receive their commission. Another strategy to manage this conflict could be to use exclusive offerings. Kawasaki chose to sell only accessories on its website, so as not to impede business at its retailers (Stackpole, 2001).

- XFashion has explored other segments to expand the business, such as luxury, children’s and man’s fashion. The company has decided to postpone targeting the luxury segment, because, according to Julia Bernstein, Chief Operating Officer of XFashion, “the segment proves not to be ideal”. Conversely, the company will launch XFashion Men in December, by adding men’s apparel and accessories in response to strong client demand. “Since day one, we’ve heard from XFashion husbands, boyfriends, brothers and dads that they would love a XFashion service for themselves,” said Bernstein. In addition to style services that directly compete with XFashion, such as Nordstrom’s Trunk Box, the men’s apparel segment is also targeted by other competitors.
