BBACBL Business Case Study: “Operation: Sexpot!”

Historically, a news organisation, whilst ostensibly a business when in a free market economy, knows deep down that the currency on which they survive is trust in the public’s eyes.
  When a group of soi-disant “businessmen” decide to buy out a local media organ, one would assume due diligence would be a priority. Debts, profit and loss statements, and community reputation might be examined. A position of potential political influence might outweigh a miserable economic forecast for the business itself.
  Gentle readers, allow us, as proverbial flies on the wall, to pay witness to the strategic acumen of these businessmen as they synergise their efforts to serve the public trust whilst maintaining a viable local business...

Merion Brakewright: “Let’s get some of those pretty salesgirls and set up a table down at the food court at Furley Square Mall and have them sell subscriptions!”

Warren Letcher: “We can make them wear those short skirts they look real good in.”

Iōnnēs Elias: “Flaunt it, and they will come!”

  Thank heavens their plan never reached the execution stage. It would have brought the ritual humiliation of the sales staff to a whole new level.
  Not that they would (or ever did), but these high-minded business leaders should heed the wise words of Tiki Prime:
“Without credibility, respect is impossible.”
