Summary:

This decision-based critical incident explores legal and ethical issues and decisions faced by the management of a small, fully owned subsidiary of a large multinational manufacturer in contracting for the subsidiary's ocean freight contracts. Iris Window Fashions, USA's (Iris Window) president, Steve Bauer, decided to commit the firm's ocean freight business to two major container carriers, Sealand and "K" Line America, Inc., to obtain better shipping rates for his imported containers of hard window treatments from China. For several years, the f was easily able to meet its obligations of 200 containers per year to both carriers; however, a series of unanticipated events plunged the company into internal chaos and made it virtually impossible to meet the contracted obligations, embroiling the firm's new management team in legal and ethical dilemmas that threatened the company's continued existence. How could Iris Window's managers have let this happen? This incident is appropriate for use in undergraduate courses in management, international business, international marketing, strategic management, business ethics, business law, international logistics, and supply chain management.
