Youre an account executive with a multinational financial firm, and one of your

biggest accounts is that of a shipping magnate in Greece. Several months after youve

arranged very complex financing to build a new fleet of oil tankers for this customer,

he asks if you and your wife would attend the christening of the first tanker. You, of

course, agree to attendit would be an insult to him if you didnt. When you arrive, he

asks your wife to break the traditional champagne bottle over the bow of the tanker.

Two weeks after the christening, your wife receives a package from your customer. In

it is a gold bracelet with her initials and the date of the christening set in diamonds. To

return the gift would insult your customer, but accepting it would clearly violate your

companys policy. What should you do?
