Ch13 Ethical Dilemma: Salesperson Compensation and Evaluation

 The dilemma highlights that using subjective measures of evaluation such as customer satisfaction scores can have positive as well as negative outcomes. In this case, Jason has dealt with unethical behavior from his client by letting his manager, Terri, know of the problem. He handled the issue correctly but gets a negative evaluation from the customer. The dilemma allows you to view the problem from several perspectives (Terri, Jason, senior management at Planet, and even the customer).
