01
You are taking charge of allocating products to distribution dealers and it happens that a dealer for SCG products who is a close relative of yours asks you to allocate to her the products that are in short supply at a higher price than normal. Can you do that?
Advice
You must not follow her request, although the conditions she offered would bring benefits to the company. You should explain her that you will consult with your superior and you are willing to co-ordinate, and update her of the progress.
04
A contractor of SCG invites you to participate in an outside seminar, and offers to sponsor for the transportation expenses, air ticket, accommodations, meals, and allowances for all seminar participants. The contractor allows you to bring your family as well. Should you join this seminar?
Advice
You should not join this seminar because the offers seem to be greater than usual. If the seminar itself, however, is interesting and beneficial to the company’s business, you may seek permission from your superior on a case-by-case basis. If you participate in the seminar, however, you should not bring your family or accept allowance as the benefits are deemed to be greater than usual.
If your close friend persuades you to be his business partner, what should you do?
Advice
You should consider if such being a business partner affects your working time at the company or has conflicts of interest with SCG, such as being a business that competes with the company or not. You should follow SCG’s guidelines.
SCG urgently needs to order a product and has given you the purchasing authority. You have a close friend who sells said product, enabling you to acquire the product quickly and at the price not higher than what you usually purchase. Can you do this?
05
Can employees hold shares in a company that is SCG’s customer or has transactions with SCG?
Advice
You may do this activity. However, if SCG has to do transactions with such companies, the employees must not take part in decision making process.
Advice
You cannot do it because approving and purchasing by the same person may raise doubts about fairness. You must propose your superior to consider and approve this order, and explain your reasons with all due clarity and transparency. You must perform some other task, according to the authority manual as well as purchasing guidelines or procedures set forth by SCG, and should not involve in the pruchasing process.
