Some Morally Difficult Situations in Marketing

You are considering hiring a product manager who just left a competitor’s
company. She would be more than happy to tell you all the competitor’s
plans for the coming year. What do you do?
You have a chance to win a big account that will mean a lot to you and your
company. The purchasing agent hints that a “gift” would influence the
decision. Your assistant recommends sending a fine colour television set to
the buyer’s home. What do you do?
You are interviewing a capable woman applicant for a job as a salesperson.
She is better qualified than the men just interviewed. Nevertheless, you
know that some of your important customers prefer dealing with men, and
you will lose some sales if you hire her. What do you do?
You are a sales manager in an encyclopedia company. Your competitor’s
salespeople are getting into homes by pretending to take a research survey.
After they finish the survey, they switch to their sales pitch. This technique
seems to be very effective. What do you do?
