Managers and the Legal Environment 7th Edition by David Madsen, Constance Bagley

تمرين 5

Zandra Quartney is a manager/buyer in charge of purchasing children's shoes for a large retail store chain. She is also a die-hard football fan. This year, the Super Bowl will be played in the Superdome in New Orleans, her hometown. Quartney's favorite team, the Steelers, is expected to reach the Super Bowl.
Currently, the store chain carries four brands of children's rain boots. In an effort to streamline its product line, the CEO has decided to cut back to three brands of rain boots, leaving to Quartney the decision of which brand to cut. Assume that all four brands are equally profitable. If the makers of Brand One send Quartney a pair of Super Bowl tickets, should she accept them? Does it matter whether the maker of Brand One is also a close friend of hers?
