| Summary: | In 2020, a former student urgently contacted one of the authors and asked to be seen the next day to discuss an ethical business dilemma. The dilemma involved a request for quote to a Fortune 500 company that resulted in them being asked for a bribe by the director of purchasing. The case is a true story of graft and corruption, the names have been changed to protect the anonymity of the former student and the companies involved.Brady Software is a family-owned business in Rochester, with sales of USD 10 million, and has responded to a request for quote for a new customer relationship management from Holman Medical, a USD-12-billion medical-device company. The president and the vice president of sales completed three presentations to the Holman leadership team and were selected as finalists. The assignment of the contract has been complicated by an unethical request from the director of purchasing. The students will assume the role of business consultants hired by Brady Software to provide constructive and ethical recommendations to the leadership team on how to respond to the ethical crisis. |
