- 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.arrow_forwardScenario 4 Sharon Gillespie, a new buyer at Visionex, Inc., was reviewing quotations for a tooling contract submitted by four suppliers.

- English Petroleum (EP) has to decide whether or not to drill for oil in a particular place. After its recent disaster in gulf, it has decided to conduct a thorough analysis before venturing into any new exploration projects. An in-house analysis revealed the following information: There are three possible results of drilling: a high yield with NPV $100 million, a moderate yield with NPV $50 million, or no oil. The drilling operation costs $50 million. At similar places, 50%, 30%, and 20% of previous drillings have given high, moderate, or no yield respectively. 1. Should EP drill for oil? What is the expected value associated with the decision. Now suppose a seismic test is available which would indicate a favorable, neutral, or discouraging prospects for the drilling. • There is a 52% chance the test will give favorable results; if it does, the respective probabilities of High, Moderate, or No yield become 35/52, 15/52, and 2/52. • There is a 22% chance the test will give neutral…arrow_forwardGiven is a decision payoff table and a Sub Decision Payoff Table.
