Suppose the owner of a gas station comes to you for advice. A local activist group is attempting to raise the minimum wag to a living wage but has not been able to convince the local or state government to make it a law. Instead the group is trying to persuade business owners and managers to pay a living wage to minimum wage workers. The workers at the gas station are paid minimum wages. The gas station is open for 12 hours from 7.00 to 7.00pm on a busy exit off the highway. The owner can only cover expenses and have no money to put away for retirement. He is the manager of the gas station open 7 days a week. So the owner is considering the request and is considering the decision. He is looking for advice. You can recommend that he raise the wages or not, but make a logical argument based on analysis of the facts in this situation and on the industry and apply what you know about strategic decision making. You have to give a recommendation-raise the wages or do not raise the wages andprovide an analysis that got you to the recommendation. Include aspects of social responsibility and strategic analysis in your argument.
