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

Exercise 2

While watching a Saturday soccer game, you talked about a new sales promotion that your company plans to offer. Is it ethical to have such a conversation? Is it legal? Should it matter whether the promotion is the subject of an advertisement in the trade magazines?
