David Stern's Decision
內容大綱
At 6:05 a.m., the head office at Golden Horseshoe Constructors (GHC) was understandably empty and very quiet. The vice-president (VP) of purchasing settled in at his desk to review the bids for an upcoming condominium project and to then decide which window and door installation firm he would recommend for that portion of the job. GHC's president was expecting the decision first thing that morning. Just a day earlier, the president had strongly suggested that the work be given to Monyash Doors and Windows, a firm that had not submitted the lowest bid. In practice, all else being equal, the firm with the lowest priced bid would win the contract, but the VP was unsure how to proceed with the president’s request and which of the four bids he should recommend.
