Arjun had just quit his job to start an online tutorial for teaching English to people in smaller towns and villages across the country while also being available for people in the urban areas. Arjun’s idea was to have a set of courses related to English speaking and writing on his new website. He planned to add more courses based on the response he receives on the first few courses. Arjun’s research had shown that English Letter Writing (ELW) was a course that many people would be interested in. He was a techie with a keen interest on starting an online venture of his own. He, however, realized that he needs course material for the ELW course which he was not qualified to create. He contacted his close friend, Rajiv, who was a very popular Math teacher for suggestions on a good English teacher who could create course content for his ELW course. Rajiv introduced Arjun to Vinay, who was an English teacher in another institute and a close friend of Rajiv’s. Arjun and Vinay spoke on a phone call where Vinay liked Arjun’s idea and offered to help him with the course material required for the ELW course. Vinay said he would collect Rs. 5000 for his services(which would be paid on delivery) and promised to deliver the work within 15 days. Since his close friend had recommended Vinay, Arjun was quite comfortable giving the entire project of the ELW course to Vinay.

Not the one who likes to waste anytime, Arjun decided to market his ELW course and start enrolling students for the program that would begin in 15 days time. He signed up more than 200 people for this course in the first 12 days. However, he noticed that Vinay was not responding to any of his calls anymore. Since Vinay was Rajiv’s close friend, Arjun assumed there would be no issue on delivery and hence did not contact him in the first eight days. He tried calling Vinay for an update on the project a few days ago but had not received any response then. Since then he emailed Vinay and dropped multiple messages but still got no response. Arjun had not paid Vinay any amount but he was a worried man. With just three days to go before the course is launched, Arjun was not sure about what needed to be done. On one hand, he had enrolled more than 200 students by collecting money for the course and on the other hand, he did not want to shelve the course as that would affect his company’s name in its first month of operation making it difficult to recover.

Fazreen Fashions Ltd is a garment manufacturer well known for its fashionable designs and quality clothing. However, recently there was a fatal fire at one of its factories in Bangladesh in which 112 workers died and many more were injured. The company operated within the highly controversial Bangladeshi textile industry, where numerous activists had long expressed concern about general working conditions, pay, health and safety. Months before the fire, employees had staged protests demanding increased wages. It was alleged that the factory improperly stored flammable materials in a non-fireproof area and lacked a fire safety certificate. It was also alleged that when the blaze began and the alarm sounded, managers prevented employees from leaving their workstations. According to survivors, exit doors at the factory were locked and stacks of materials blocked the stairways, trapping many people. Bystanders claimed that people were forced to jump from the windows of the eight-storey building in an attempt to escape the flames. International retailers and brands such as Mal-Wart, Nisdey, Seddy Tmith have threatened to withdraw their business with Fazreen Fashions. The Members of the Board are in a dilemma about the next step to take.
