Sign in Purchasing Ethics Scenario 1 1 of 1 Q D 5 Bryan Janz was just arriving back from lunch when his office phone rang. It was his wife, Nina, calling from home. Nina told Bryan that FedEx had just delivered a package addressed to her. The package contained a beautiful clock, now sitting over the fireplace. In fact, Nina said, "the clock looks absolutely beautiful on our living room fireplace." Think- ing the clock was from a family member, Bryan asked who sent the present. She said she did not recognize the name-the clock was from Mr. James McEnroe. Bryan immediately told Nina that she had to repack the clock because it was from a supplier who had been try- ing to win business from Bryan's company. They definitely could not accept the clock. Nina was very upset and responded that the clock was perfect for the room and, besides, the clock came to their home, not to Bryan's office. Because of Nina's attachment to the clock, Bryan was unsure about what to do. ASSIGNMENT 1. What should Bryan do about the clock? 2. What does the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) code of ethics say about accepting supplier favors and gifts? 3. Why do you think the supplier sent the clock to Bryan's home and addressed it to his wife? 4. Does the mere act of sending the clock to Bryan mean that Mr. McEnroe is an unethical salesperson? Scenario 2 Lisa Jennings thought that at long last, her company, Assurance Technologies, was about to win a major contract from Sealgood Instruments. Sealgood, a maker of precision measuring instruments, was sourcing a large contract for component subassemblies. The contract that Assurance Technologies was bidding on was worth at least $2.5 million an- nually, a significant amount given Assurance's annual sales of $30 million. Her team had spent hundreds of hours preparing t the quotation and felt they could meet Sealgood's re- quirements in quality, cost, delivery, part standardization, and simplification. In fact, Lisa had never been more confident about a quote meeting the demanding requirements of a potential customer. Troy Smyrna, the buyer at Sealgood Instruments responsible for awarding this con- tract, called Lisa and asked to meet with her at his office to discuss the specifics of the contract. When she arrived, Lisa soon realized that the conversation was not going ex- actly as she had expected. Troy informed Lisa that Assurance Technologies had indeed prepared a solid que I quotation for the contract. However, when he visited Assurance's facility quotation earlier on a prequalifying visit, he was disturbed to see a significant amount of a a competi- tor's product being used by Assurance. Troy explained his uneasiness with releasing part plans and designs to a company that clearly had involvement with a competitor. When Lisa asked what Assurance could do to minimize his uneasiness, Troy replied that he would be more comfortable if Assurance no longer used the competitor's equipment and used 823 O + $
