In February $2016,$ Rick Fodemesi, director of Clearsound Inc., a small Oakville, Ontario manufacturer and retailer of high quality headphones and headsets, had just met with a purchasing agent from Best Buy Canada Inc. The agent had approached Fodemesi regarding the possibility of carrying a line of Clearsound headphones, which involved a potential order of over three times the number of headphones currently being manufactured each year.

However, during the meeting it became apparent that Best Buy had expected a price much lower than Clearsound was prepared to offer. Rick was wondering if it would be possible to agree upon a price, and if so$,$ was it in the best interests of his company to supply headphones to a large retailer such as Best Buy. As he left the meeting at the Best Buy office, Rick was aware that he would have to contact the purchasing agent within a few weeks.
