Competitive advantage for the supplier in bangladesh


Problem: James, is a manager of SafeMask Ltd. (SM), a wholesale company in Melbourne that manufactures and sells reusable facemasks, since COVID demand has drastically increased. SM's supplier for the facemasks is located in Bangladesh. James is instructed to contact the supplier and increase SM's facemask orders from 500,000 to 1 million facemasks. He is also told to do whatever is necessary to get it done. The supplier advises James that they're already working at capacity as they also have to fulfill facemask production orders for the domestic market, and that the only way would be to overwork the current employees and hire child labour. James tells the supplier that he would be willing to pay for any contractual penalties plus 50% extra for each mask, if the supplier would 'do whatever it takes' to increase the production for SM. James believes that this is the correct cause of action, as he has been told to do whatever is necessary. James is also aware that the supplier is dumping all its production waste in the local river. In fact, James sees it as a competitive advantage for the supplier in Bangladesh. He believes that production in Bangladesh is a lot cheaper
