Part 2 Case Study Scenario You are a student at McGill in March of 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic is beginning to spread throughout North America. A friend approaches you with a business idea. They want to start a medical supply company to sell masks, since in the current conditions you could sell them at many times the normal price. The plan is to rush out and buy as many masks as possible wait a few weeks for the public health situation to worsen, and when governments and hospitals are in desperate need of supplies, you can resell them at a huge mark up. In addition to the general business idea, your friend has two other ideas that they think will help the plan be successful. First, part of the reasons that your friend wants you to be part of this enterprise is because they know you have a cousin that works at 3M (a well-known manufacturing company that makes many products, including medical masks). Part of your friend's plan is to tell potential buyers and/or investors that the company has contacts at 3M that can help you get a secure supply of high-quality masks. Your cousin has nothing to do with masks or sales. They work the shipping department at a post-it note factory. Your friend says that this doesn't matter, as no one is going to fact-check the claims you make in a sales-pitch; they just need to believe it long enough to close the deal. Second, because high-quality mask are rapidly becoming expensive and hard to come by, your friend plans to purchase off-brand and lower quality masks with the idea of selling those when no one can get their hands on the higher quality masks. They speculate that once you get your foot in the door with a hospital or a government contract selling them a few orders of the good masks, they won't have the time or resources to seek out new suppliers when you have "supply chain issues" and offer them these inferior masks as an alternative. Your friend's plan certainly seems like it has the potential to make some quick money. You have $100 in the bank, and the money from this venture would help with next semester's tuition. But you have a nagging feeling that there is something not quite morally right about certain aspects of the plan (and maybe the whole idea itself). You are not sure whether to get involved or what to do next
