Question:
6. Ralph, in his capacity as Director of Business Development for his firm, is trying to get on the bid list for the construction of a large office building project for the U.S. Government. Ralph invites George to lunch at the Ritz Bistro. (Ralph really likes the Ritz Bistro.) George is the Procurement Manager of the government agency, which will occupy the office building. Ralph knows he can keep the total bill at $75 with tip, well within the Gift and Entertainment Policy of Ralph’s firm. Is this proper business conduct, given government regulations prohibiting acceptance of gratuities? Is this a commonly accepted business practice? Ralph is unaware of government regulations, which prohibit George, the Government Procurement Manager, from accepting any gratuity. How should George handle this situation?
