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?

ScenarioThe government of the island nation of Autarka has become increasingly concerned about the health and wellbeing of low-income households. Medical experts stress the importance of a healthy diet in this regard. They have determined that, ideally, a household would consume at least 5kg of fresh fruit and vegetables each week. The government has proposed implementing a new voucher scheme to ensure that the 5kg per week consumption target is met. Under the government’s proposal, the vouchers would be redeemable for fresh fruit and vegetables, but could not be used for other types of food, or for non-food consumption. Moreover, to limit the cost of the voucher scheme,the value of the vouchers sent to a household would be linked to the household’s income. Community groups in Autarka have expressed concern that a voucher scheme is unnecessarily paternalistic; depriving low-income households of the choice of how to spend their income. These groups argue that the government’s…
