Q.5
CASE STUDY: Purchasing Ethics
J.R. accepted a position at Cripple Creek Vocational University
(CCVU) and he and his family made a permanent move. Soon, J.R. was
promoted to Administrative Vice President, overseeing the purchasing
department of the University. His oldest son, Jim, got a good job in
educational equipment sales at Tiddley Computer Corporation in Fort
Worth.
As Vice President, J.R. quickly saw the need for 4 to 5 computers in his
office. Although CCVU had a bidding policy, J.R. purchased Tiddley
Corporation's computers direct from Tiddley for about $3500 each,
when IBM clones were selling for around $2000 and the clone had more
promising features than the Tiddley. Jim handled the sale and received a
healthy commission on the sale. If the purchase had gone through the
normal bidding process, the TC model would not have been selected.
Tiddley's local Cripple Creek franchise dealer objected to Tiddley
Corporation that his protected franchise had been bypassed in the deal.
(a)
Since J.R. was over the purchasing department and had final decision
authority, should purchasing have gone through the normal bidding
routine?
07
(b)
Has Tiddley's Cripple Creek franchise owner been wronged? If you
were a member of the CCVU faculty, what would you do?
07
OR
Q.5 (a)
Is it acceptable for a V.P. to bypass the normal routine to do business
with a family member? Was J.R.'s decision not to request bids an
ethical choice?
07
(b)
Should anyone else at CCVU have any interest in this activity?
