Summing Up Social Responsibility (Scenario)
Maher, director of research and development for National Products Company, has learned that a new material has been developed in his department that appears as though it will work in several products already being manufactured by National Products Company. He has discussed the potential savings with his two assistants, Sawsan and Mansur, and the vice president of product development, Raed. Sawsan has stated her opposition to the use of the new product because its durability and flame retardance have not completed testing and have not been certified by the company's third-party testing laboratory. Mansur argues that the initial tests that their R&D department completed indicate minimal problems with both durability and flame retardance. Raed states that in several meetings he has recently attended, the company president had repeatedly emphasized the need to increase earnings per share. Raed tells Maher that a decision has to be made within the week about the new products use by National Products Company.
