Charles' Purchasing Certification Blog: How Bad Is Golfing With Suppliers?

Another blogger, but from another industry, Purchasing, sounds off on the Mayor's folly with ethics from on the golf course.
Charles' Purchasing Certification Blog: How Bad Is Golfing With Suppliers? Ravenstahl's 'but-mommy-said-it-was-OK' defense isn't exactly making him look real sharp right now.
The take home message:
When I teach conflict of interest in purchasing, I always caution my students to avoid any real or perceived conflicts of interest. Even if certain activities with suppliers may not bias your decision-making, others may have the perception that they do. And that can be just as harmful to your internal influence as a real conflict of interest.
