As a Canadian manufacturer of medium and high-end barbeques located in Nova Scotia, you have been under severe price pressure from a Chinese low cost manufacturer.In fact the Chinese manufacturer has been successfully convincing various large retail organizations to order low-end barbeque lines that are specially designed and branded with the retail organizations name.You have been lobbying the federal government to institute anti-dumping measures against the Chinese manufacturer, but retailers have been strongly opposing your efforts, arguing that the manufacturer is charging a fair price for the barbeques.You have convinced your MP, who is also a cabinet minister that the Chinese firm is going to do great damage to your company and therefore weaken an already weak job market in Nova Scotia.
Is charging the Chinese company with dumping their products the best approach to protecting the Canadian manufacturer's domestic market? What other choices are available to the company? Explain your answer.
