Abstract
John Cannon is an American expatriate and General Manager of International Medical Laboratories'' (IML) German subsidiary. During a sales visit, he is introduced to Dr Hans Rombach, a cardiovascular surgeon and possibly the most prominent surgeon in Europe. John is very impressed with Dr Rombach and his research and would like to make him an IML customer. Dr Rombach expresses interest in the IML equipment. He then asks if IML could make a $25,000 contribution to his research fund as this would make the purchase decision much easier. John is in a quandary. Is this a request for a bribe, or simply a donation for some progressive and legitimate research?
