Business Plan Assignment Help

TASK Kruger is Heavy Machinery Sales Manager of JCI Ltd. He has frequently negotiated and signed contracts on behalf of JCI Ltd with Oppenheimer, Managing Director of Anglo-American Corporation Ltd. Kruger and Oppenheimer have been in negotiations over the supply of an ore smelter by JCI to Anglo-American. On Friday 5 July at 10.00 am Kruger phones Oppenheimer and says “We will offer to sell you the ore smelter for $ 3.5 million.  I’ll be at your office at 3pm to sign a contract.” At 1 pm, Oppenheimer is having lunch at the Rand Club with Rhodes, who is another executive of JCI. During the lunch Rhodes says “Things are awful at JCI. Kruger has been making too many mistakes this year, his department hasn’t been trading profitably, and I heard he was going to get a nasty surprise at our lunchtime Board meeting. Frankly, I can’t see him surviving”. Oppenheimer goes back to his office and mentions the lunchtime conversation to Jameson, a fellow Anglo-American executive, saying that he (Oppenheimer) thinks that Kruger may have been ousted.  Jameson says "Look, we're getting a good deal here, don't worry about what is going on at JCI".  At 3pm Kruger arrives and signs the deal to sell the machinery to Anglo American for $ 3.5 million.
