- Sun Networks is a large company that operating solely as a Television broadcaster. However, four years ago, it started offering broadband and telephone services to its Television customers. Customers taking up the offer were then recognized in the business as ‘Combo customers’ and they had to take up both the broadband and telephone services together with the Television service. Other customers were still able to subscribe to Television alone but not to broadband and telephone services without the Television service. All contracts to customers of Sun Networks are for a minimum two-month period. The Television box is sold to the customer at the beginning of the contract. However, the broadband and telephone equipment is only rented to them. In the first few years after product bundling was introduced, the company saw a steady increase in profits. Then, Sun Networks saw its revenues and operating profits fall. Consequently, staff bonuses were not paid, and staff became dissatisfied.…arrow_forwardScenario 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.

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.
