=+Prior to leaving, Marks receives a visit from the chief executive of Prakash & Sons. Marks shows him an anonymous letter sent to her. It argues that Pinnacle is receiving unfair favourable treatment in Prakash & Sons’ software decision-making process. The letter specifically mentions Marks’s upcoming ‘all-expenses-paid package to Hong Kong’. Marks is deeply offended. She says she has made no decision, and she believes she is very capable of making a software choice on the merits of each product. Prakash & Sons currently does not have a formal, written code of ethics.
