Mansfield Energy Corp has recently taken over a fuel supply plant that is in close proximity to one of its competitors. The collection point for both fuel companies is located at the same seaport. The general manager of Mansfield Energy Corp intends to hire a consultant to train Mansfield Energy Corp’s employees regarding the new procedures for affixing the fuel lines at the collection point to the high-capacity storage tanks and is debating whether the competitor should be invited to attend given that they use the same seaport. The general manager is mindful of the high cost of hiring the consultant and sourcing the equipment to train Mansfield Energy Corp’s employees and is therefore hesitant to invite his competitors. The manager is also aware that there have been no accidents at the port since operations started 10 years ago and might not invite the competitors to participate in the training. The General Manager decides, based on the high price for the consultant (facilitation fee, air travel, accommodation) and the training material that he will not invite the competitor to participate.
You are the manager in charge of operations and you are aware that a mishap at the port by either company will adversely affect operations in both fuel plants.
Based on your knowledge of ethical leadership, do you consider the general manager an ethical or unethical leader?

- Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. Is Ben Gibson acting legally? Is he acting ethically? Why or why not?Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner.
