| Abstract | A young brilliant engineer without much experience in industry, spends a number of weeks working late in order to solve a problem with quality control in the plastic parts his department produces. He works with the representative of a vendor for a raw material used in the production of this part in order to improve the batch to batch color consistency of this part. In thanks, the vendor representative takes the engineer and his wife out for an expensive dinner in compensation. Later, when this same vendor representative invites him to join a ski trip the engineer agrees, he agrees to go. |
