Individual Assignment I

Alex is working on a sales presentation for his company, Phones4Kids, but he has encountered a problem. His company is marketing the phones specifically to children, but 8 percent of the time the phones can access the internet through a wireless connection. This is especially problematic because it increases the chance of a child becoming exposed to pornographic material while using their product by 48 percent. Alex’s boss has promised him a commission if he makes the sale to the retailers and this sale also represents 25 percent of his companies revenue for the year. Other children’s cell phone companies offer phones with no internet access so Alex is worried about telling the retailers about the issue because he is afraid he won’t make the sale because of the problem with the phones connecting to the internet. He can find no guidance in the corporate policy for Phones4Kids besides being honest and fair when dealing with customers. Alex must decide whether or not to let the retailers know about the problem with the phones connecting to the internet and he must keep in mind that whatever decision he makes will affect his companies reputation.
