BACKGROUND
You are a senior manager at a large-scale global company, having its multiple
branches in different countries. You were selected as the regional manager for a
recently acquired business at new location with the responsibility to transform this
business location into the company’s strategic framework. You have successfully
completed the task of transforming the local office into a global company’s latest
business unit, developing required processes and training the staff accordingly.

your global company are very happy with your achievement. The local staff has
adapted to the global procedures quicker than expected and the operations are

Your local office is progressing and achieving its targets successfully until a
serious incident took place. A very reputable client complained to the global
company that your local office sales person tried to bribe him through expensive
