Question: An independent and trustworthy confidante of Rajan Shekhawat, the CEO of the company, informed him that one of their main competitors had bribed the food testing agency to manipulate the report.
Which of the following actions will BEST help Crunchy Chips to bounce back?
In this scenario, the real culprit is the food testing agency who willingly accepted the bribe and should be the one to receive the punishment. Hence, filing a case against the competitor or any other action against the competitor is uncalled for at this stage. So, eliminate option 2 and 4.
Option 1 would shift the focus from exposing the main culprit which should be the foremost step in this case. So, eliminate option 1.
Involving another food testing agency would unnecessarily confuse the consumers and does nothing to help the company bounce back. Hence, eliminate options 3.
Hence, the correct answer is option 5.
