Problem:
You work for a corporation as the Vice President for Advertising and Sales as well as serving as an inside director. The corporation is in the business of making and selling custom-designed themed party equipment such as tablecloths, wall hangings, posters, and paper products based on a current movie or popular television show. You became a leader in the company because of your incredible design skills combined with your ability to negotiate with the production companies to make products based on their shows. You receive a call from a friend who is organizing a class reunion for your high school. This friend remembered your amazing creative abilities and is asking you to come up with a theme related to your graduation year and then design and make the decorations and party supplies to go with that theme. The friend is offering to pay you for the finished products and give you an additional $200 for your time. Discuss what duties you owe to your company and whether you should agree to help your friend.
