1. Tell us the legal concepts applicable to the case and discuss why you believe your answers are correct using the terminology and any cases you found that support your opinion.
2. Explain why there may be more than one applicable Legal Concept in each Case Study and how you arrived at those answers (for instance, pick out a sentence or two from the case study that led you to that decision.)
3. Be sure to reply to at least two of your classmates for full credit.
Case Study:
Jake Salesman is a sales manager at Wegotit, Inc.. The company SVP provided Jake and other team leaders a copy of the company’s new sales forecast for the fourth quarter. The SVP distributed information related to the third-quarter results to the team leaders. The company performance was well below the profitable goals set by the president of the company. The target goals will keep the company liquid for the rest of the year if met. Because of the third quarter’s results, the company faced massive layoffs unless the team doubled its efforts by the end of the fourth quarter. The SVP interpreted the President of the company’s message as meaning they had to do everything possible to regain the market share. The SVP indicated to the team leaders that they were personally responsible for the survival of the company. The highlight of his presentation came when he told everyone in the room that they were to recover the market share “by any means necessary.” The president said that that they should leave no stone unturned and let no rule stand in their way. Jake set up a meeting with his team to go over the individual quotas for which his members were responsible. Before the meeting with the SVP ended, the SVP indicated that he wanted every team leader to repeat his call to duty to reach the goals. If Jake Salesman follows the SVP’s directives, what else should Jake consider discussing with his team during this meeting, and why? What legal issues could potentially create a problem if the team took the phrase “by any means necessary, literally?”
