Your first meeting on Monday is with the Director of Public Relations (Elena), the Vice President of Strategic Development (Martha), and the Director of Manufacturing (Jack).

"Bad news about our joint venture negotiations with Primo Products in El Salvador," says Elena. "I've just become aware of some media reports about possible child labor in some of their factories. The fall-out from this could be serious. Our reputation could be on the line. We can't be associated with a company that uses child labor."

Martha speaks up. "Not so fast! This joint venture is critical for our company. This could open up the Latin American market for our products, and it's likely to be extremely profitable for both our company and Primo. We need this deal, and we need it fast."

Jack agrees. "Let's face it. This goes on all the time. It's a different culture over there. We don't even know if these reports are true, but even if they are, you know how the media is. It'll be headlines for a day and then the next big story will hit and everyone will forget about it. I say we move forward with this."

Everyone looks to you for a decision. What should you do?
