3. What should Clayton do?

Clayton McNulty, owner of McNulty’s Muscular Materials (MMM), is sitting in his dim office located at the top of an old brown brick building, in an industrial area of South Boston. Clayton had just gotten off the phone with Sarah Holden, his long-time friend and sole supplier of his most popular fabric, when his telephone rings again. This call is from John Masterson, his number-one client.
‘‘Clay Buddy,’’ John says. ‘‘Just got off the phone with the owner of Southside Sluggers. Guess who got the New Jersey contract? That’s right, pal, and I want you to get ’em to me. That’ll be 10,000 jerseys and I need them by the end of the month. How much do you love me, Clay baby? I’ll get you the designs by Monday. Ciao.’’
