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. Ethical decisions that affect a buyers ethical perspective usually involve the organizational environment, cultural environment, personal environment, and industry environment. Analyze this scenario using these four variables.

Case Study Toyota SA Motors (TSAM) has announced a R4.28bn investment in local vehicle assembly and parts supply. Speaking at the company’s annual State of the Motor Industry address at Kyalami on Thursday, president and CEO Andrew Kirby said the lion’s share of R2.43bn would go towards the production of a new passenger-car model from October 2021 at the Prospecton plant in KwaZulu-Natal. The new car, which he did not name, will replace the Corolla model line that will end in 2020. TSAM also announced it will build a Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive vehicle, in a first for the continent. Kirby said the investment will inject R2.85bn a year into the South African economy and create about 1,500 new jobs. He noted that the deal was made possible due to industrial policy certainty in the form of the Automotive Production and Development Programme, the government’s incentive plan for the motor industry. The next phase of the APDP runs from 2021 to 2035. TSAM has boosted the local economy with…

CASE STUDY Peñamante Co. is considering establishing a corporate fitness programme for its employees. The firm currently employs 500 workers, mainly managerial and administrative, in a number of offices in one local area. The type of programme being considered involves subsidizing employees by paying 50 per cent of any membership fees to a specific fitness centre. This subsidy represents the cost of operating the programme, while the main benefits expected are in terms of increased productivity, reduced sickness and absenteeism, and reduced staff turnover costs. The average salary paid to employees is P240,000 per year, and employees work a forty-hour week for fifty weeks in the year. The firm has researched the extent of these costs and benefits and discovered the following information: 1. 10 per cent of employees can be expected to participate in the programme. 2. The membership fees are 1200 per individual on a group scheme. 3. Workers who do not participate in any fitness programme…
Case study: The store turned over £480,000 in 2018, but cost of goods sold was £360,000 and staff and other operating costs were £140,000. The only good news is that it appears that while the previous manager had run down the stock, he had increased the cash at the bank and there is a positive balance of £136,000 in the store’s bank account. Only £10,000 is due to suppliers who provide the feed and agricultural supplies on 30 days credit terms. Customers of Aggro also receive 30 days credit and the debtors balance is currently £80,000. The manager meets with the Chairman of the Board and discusses the following: Stocks and margins: The manager observes that stocks have been run down and that the store cannot sell what it does not have. Additionally, the lack of stock is reducing customer interest in the store and leading to less footfall in the premises. Further, the focus on agricultural products, particularly animal feed has led to very low margins as the market for these products…
