Scenario
One of Biotech’s largest suppliers of echinacea has come to Maria Santos, the Department Head of Purchasing with an offer of 100,000 pounds of echinacea, which has been genetically modified. It would be a substantial savings to the company if Maria were to accept the offer. The producer/seller assured Maria that the echinacea was produced without any type of fertilizer. Maria decides to forego the offer.
