Question:

Assume that Honda Motor Co. Ltd. paid for a full-page advertisement in The Wall Street Journal. The ad neither discussed any Honda products nor referred to year-end earnings or a new stock issuance.

Prepare a brief essay to answer the following questions:
a. Why would Honda want newspaper readers to know what suppliers it uses?
b. Do you think this advertisement would have any benefit for Honda itself? Discuss the rationale for your answer.
