  • Description: Judy Wiles, president and owner of First Impressions, Inc., needs new ideas to market her temporary-food-service employment agency to lucrative private accounts in suburban Detroit. In the A case (UVA-E-0175), Wiles, a member of a minority group, encounters overtly racist behavior, which spurs her to implement changes to her marketing plan. The B case supplies a new twist: Wiles decides to hire a white front man to represent the amp;quot;public faceamp;quot; of her company. The A and B cases present an exciting forum to discuss the conflict between amp;quot;values and profits,amp;quot; and the C case (UVA-E-0177) provides the dramatic epilogue
