    Tom Jones has recently joined Wood Truss, a manufacturer of wooden structural parts. His boss, Mark Smith, gave him a bid request from contractor Strong Built for a 300,000 square foot warehouse. Mark then handed Tom sealed bids from Wood Truss's two main competitors and told Tom to undercut the lowest competitor bid. When Tom protested using the information was unethical, Mark said this is how the construction industry works. If Tom were in this situation, he would follow Wood Truss's rules as an employee but try to gradually change the company's standard operating procedures to conduct business in a more ethical manner.

    Kasus

    Tom Jones has recently joined the sales force of Wood Truss, a manufacturer of wooden
    structural parts for commercial buildings. Large contractors issue requests for bids for a bill of
    materials required to construct a commercial project. Tom’s job includes reviewing the bill of
    materials and developing his firm’s bid.

    Tom’s new boss, Mark Smith, gave Tom a request for bids from Strong Built, a commercial
    contractor. The request involved the construction of a 300,000 square foot warehouse. Tom
    immediately set about costing out the materials specified in the bill.

    The day before the bid was due, Mark came in and handed Tom two brown envelopes. Mark said
    the envelopes, which contained copies of the bids from Wood Truss’s two main competitors, had
    just been received from their inside man at Strong Built. He also said that the Wood Truss bid
    must be just under the lowest bid from the competition. Wood Truss was always the lowest
    bidder on major jobs; competitors were allowed to win a few of the smaller jobs so as riot to
    arouse suspicion.
    When Tom protested that using the information was not right, Mark said that this is the way
    things are done in the construction industry. The firm with contacts stays in business. He said
    Tom is now working for a winner and should be glad that he signed on with the right company.

    Pertanyaan:
    Jika Anda adalah Tom Jones, apakah yang akan Anda lakukan? Apa alasan Anda memilih untuk
    melakukan hal itu?

    Jawaban:
    Menurut saya, tindakan yang dilakukan oleh Wood Truss sangatlah tidak etis karna merugikan
    banyak pihak, terutama para kompetitor sesama pemasok. Tetapi, menurut saya yang dilakukan
    oleh Tom adalah mengikuti aturan yang diberlakukan oleh Wood Truss karena Tom telah
    menandatangani kontrak dengan perusahaan Wood Truss sebagai karyawannya, yang artinya
    bahwa seluruh kebijakan dari atasan harus dijalankan. Namun, jika dipandang dari segi etis,
    sebaiknya adalah melakukan perubahan secara perlahan SOP yang ada untuk mengubah gaya
    dalam memenangkan penawarannya agar etika dalam berbisnis bisa dijalankan.
