Getting Medicine to Bosnia: Acceptable Bribery? As chief legal officer in a well-respected company making lifesaving drugs, Gordon Smith was asked by his board of directors to look into rumors of bribery with the firm’s Bosnia contract. The contract, he discovered, had been ordinary in almost every respect: A major relief organization had contracted with his company to supply a million inexpensive kits of medicine for delivery into the war-torn regions of Bosnia. Like most such contracts with charitable organizations, it contained hardly any profit for his firm. What he found strange, however, was the payment of an extraordinarily large commission to a Romanian distributor to deliver the kits deep into Bosnia. Seeking out the executive in his own firm who had negotiated the contract, he had one question in mind: Was this a bribe? Yes said the executive, it’s a bribe that we’re paying. According to the Romanian distributor, the backs of the delivery trucks were loaded with the kits — and the glove compartments were stuffed with cash. That way, when the drivers were stopped at roadblocks set up by local militia units operating all across Bosnia, they could pay whatever was demanded and continue their journey. In the past, he noted, drivers without cash had been taken from their trucks and shot. If the kits were to be delivered, this was a cost of doing business. Gordon felt sure that none of the money had flowed back to the executive, whose only motive was to get the kits delivered. Gordon faced a dilemma. Should he draft a report to the board on this most unorthodox contract? Or should he keep silent? Analysis Everything in Gordon's background with his company told him that this contract was not the way to do business. Bribery, he knew, was simply unacceptable to the board, who felt strongly that once that barrier was breached, there would be no stopping the shakedowns in the future. But everything in his makeup as a compassionate being told him that providing medicine for the wounded was of overriding importance, and that the normal ethic of commerce didn't apply in a war zone. Case from the Institute for Global Ethics. 1. Who are the stakeholders to Gordon’s decision as to whether to continue the bribe payments or not? Please list them with a brief explanation. 2. As the case says, “What should Gordon do?” Do you continue with the bribe payments (these clearly are bribes)? If so, why; if not, why not? Please indicate which ethical perspective(s) (i.e., profit maximization, utilitarianism, universalism) support your decision.

Metalinguistic awareness contributes to effective writing at university. Writing is a meaning-making process where linguistic, cognitive, social and creative factors are at play. University students need to master the skills of academic writing not only for getting their degree but also for their future career. It is also significant for lecturers to know who our students are, how they think and how we can best assist them. This study examines first-year undergraduate Australian and international engineering students as writers of academic texts in a multicultural setting at the University of Adelaide. A questionnaire and interviews were used to collect data about students’ level of metalinguistic awareness, their attitudes toward, expectations for, assumptions about and motivation for writing. The preliminary results of the research show that students from different cultures initially have different concepts about the academic genres and handle writing with different learning and writing styles, but those with a more developed metalanguage are more confident and motivated. The conclusion can also be drawn that students’ level of motivation for academic writing positively correlates with their opinion about themselves as writers. Following an in-depth multi-dimensional analysis of preliminary research results, some recommendations for writing instruction will also be presented.

Ready-to-Drink (RTD) Coffee Market

Coca-Cola and Dunkin’ Doughnuts have a strategic alliance to distribute Dunkin branded coffee to consumers via convenience, discount and grocery stores. Both are highly interested in the growing cold brew market. Coke also is interested in testing expansion of its Peak Gold brand into the cold brew coffee market. Coke is testing ready-to-drink cold brew with both brand partners in US southern markets to determine what path to take in northern markets for a spring launch. They are testing Peak Gold and a Dunkin’ Doughnuts RTD cold brew, both in 3 flavors. (Black/Espresso Cold Brew, Café Mocha Cold Brew, and Vanilla Almond). Coke only wants to introduce cold brew coffee in one brand to optimize distribution capability, and they believe the market will only grow to a total of $200 million (4x current, 300% growth.) Therefore, at their estimated share, it would only justify one brand entry into the market.

Both Coke and Dunkin’ are concerned about cannibalization of the current 4-flavor lineup of Dunkin’ Iced Coffee distributed by Coke with this introduction.

Test results showed Dunkin’ to get an impressive 25% out of the predicted $200 million growing RTD cold brew market, but 75 % of that volume was cannibalization of the current Dunkin’ RTD line. In the Peak Gold test market, they got 10 % of the RTD cold brew market, but did not cannibalize any Dunkin’ Brand. Project test results and estimate the volume of “net new business” (revenue less cannibalization) that would be earned in the rollout of each brand. Which brand provides the greater “net new business” and how much volume is predicted?

Group of answer choices

a.Peak Gold at $20 million net new business.

b.Peak Gold, at $25 million net new business.

c.Information is inadequate to choose an optimal brand.

d.Dunkin’ Doughnuts Brand, with $50 million net new business.

e.Dunkin’ Doughnuts Brand, with $12.5 million net new business
