Explain why “Most people believe that one aspect of a purchasing agent’s job is to get the lowest price possible. Doing so may give the company a price advantage over their competitors.”Most salesmen see their largest accounts as important enough to offer special deals not available to smaller accounts. Their goals are to keep this business and increase it where possible.”How might these approaches conflict with provisions of the Robinson-Patman act and at what point might the purchasing agent and salesmen put themselves at personal risk?”
