BUS 302 Lecture 5: Valley seats and cushions
Document Summary
Valley seats and cushions (vsc) was a small business that manufactured bleacher seat pads that sports fans or picnickers could use to make wooden outdoor seating (or even convenient rocks) a bit warmer and more comfortable. Grand central"s management team immediately began supplementing sales efforts by adding the. Vsc products to their own manufacturers representatives" lines. Grand central has been sued by a noted civil rights attorney claiming that closing down the sheltered work facility manufacturing operation was a wrongful termination of the workers in the sheltered work. She estimated this figure by computing 20 years x 10 clients x ,000 = ,000,000, doubling it to account for her fees, then doubling that to account for future inflation. In addition to manufacturing labor, vsc employed a clerical worker and a general manager but no sales staff: through december, 2005, sales were generated primarily by manufacturer"s representatives who received a standard 5% of sales as their commission.
