You are a project manager responsible for a decision that might lead to a huge opportunity for your company.

If the company wins the bid, you will likely move into a senior management position; if you don't get the contract, it will probably be time to look for another job, to make matters worse, your employer is under financial pressure, so winning the contract could be a big positive turn of events while losing out to the competition might mean lay-offs or even bankruptcy.

Your contact at the client just emailed you a folder that appears to contain the bid of your main competitor.

 

 

 Is there anything wrong with looking at the folder? Is it stealing or cheating? What is at stake here?
