Minelva owns a computer shop. She employs several salespersons plus a couple of people to assemble and repair computers. Her senior sales person is Brenton, who is tempted to leave and work for his brother-in-law in a higher status job. To try to keep him working at her shop, Minelva gives Brenton a pay increase and the title of 'manager', although his job remains essentially selling to customers and he has no authority to make other business decisions. Minelva introduces Brenton to dealers and customers as 'manager', and has him wearing a badge saying it. Shanique, a computer components wholesaler, visits the shop one day when Minelva is out supervising the installation of a computer network. Shanique persuades Brenton to sign an order for a large quantity of computers for the shop. Advise Minelva whether the order binds her.
