Tiddley's Cripple Creek franchise owner was incensed by the loss of computer sales to the University. In addition, he was required to handle any warranty problems on the computers even though he hadn't sold them. J.R. agreed that if the Cripple Creek store manager would hire his other son, Joe, all future sales would come through the Cripple Creek franchise and the owner would receive credit for future sales. He did, they did, he was.

Questions:

Was this an ethical solution to the University's computer purchases?

Who was making ethical choices?

Who wasn't?
