Summing Up Social Responsibility (Scenario)
Max Proffit, director of research and development for National Products Company, that is into producing hiking gears has learned that a new material has been developed in his department that appears to make the ropes and slings more durable. He has discussed this development with his two assistants, Susie Merriweather and Moe Gaines, and Rush Onward, vice president of product development. Susie has stated her opposition to the use of the new material because its durability has not yet been tested and has not been certified by the company's third-party testing laboratory. Moe argues that the initial tests that their R&D department completed indicate minimal problems with durability. Rush states that in several meetings he has recently attended, the company president had repeatedly emphasized the need to increase earnings per share. Rush tells Max that a decision has to be made within the week about the new material's use by the Company.
