What is Merchant’s Defense?• According to the Case Library, “ A peace officer, a merchant,
or a specifically authorized employee of a merchant, may use reasonable force to detain a person for questioning on the merchant’s premises, for a reasonable length of time, when he has reasonable cause to believe that the person has committed theft of goods held for sale by the merchant, regardless of the actual value of the goods. The detention shall not constitute false imprisonment”(Efrat & Gunther, 2007).
Mohammed 17
egal AnalysisL
Requirements for authorized detention 1. The person effecting the detention must be a peace
officer, a merchant, or a specifically authorized employee of a merchant
2. The party making the detention must have reasonable cause to believe that the detained person has committed theft.
3. The detention was conducted in a reasonable manner. Determining facts:
4. The detention must occur on the merchant’s premises
5. The detention may not last longer than a reasonable period of time (Efrat & Gunther, 2007)

ssessing the DamagesA
➢Compensatory Damages- actual damages awarded to the plaintiff due to a tort. Can include physical harm, medical expenses, lost wages, etc.(Mallor et al., 2001).
• “To make the person whole”
Marqus 22
ssessing the DamagesA
• Susan Kim is owed compensatory damages, but not the entire amount she’s asking for.
• To pay for the damages, we want to make sure we’re not paying more than we need to make her whole again.
Marqus 23
ssessing the DamagesA
➢Punitive Damages- Damages awarded in addition to compensatory remedy that are designed to punish a defendant for particularly reprehensible behavior and to deter the defendant and others from committing similar behavior in the future (Mallor et al., 2001).
• Punishing flagrant wrongdoing
Marqus 24
Tucker’s Five Questions Approach (Smith, 2015)
Is the decision profitable (shareholders)?
Is the decision legal (society at large)?
Is it fair?
What is the impact on the rights of stakeholders?
What is the impact on sustainable development (environment)?

thical ConsiderationsE
Marqus 26
1. Is the Decision Profitable?
Utilitarianism: Firing Jimmie Lee to prevent lawsuits pertaining to him in the futureConsidering settlement with Susan Kim
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR):
Ethical/Customer service training
Considering shift to e-commerce
thical ConsiderationsE
Marqus 27
2. Is the Decision Legal?
Utilitarianism: Firing Jimmie is legal
Justice Theory: Settlement with Susan is legal because we would make her whole, without facing punitive damages
thical ConsiderationsE
Marqus 28
3. Is it fair? Utilitarianism: Firing Jimmie is fair because he committed a tortuous actSettlement with Susan to pay only her compensatory damages is fair
Deontology: Training employees is fair because we have an inherent duty to provide the best service
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR):
E-commerce is fair, even if it means shutting down some of our stores
thical ConsiderationsE
Marqus 29
4. What is the impact on the rights of stakeholders?
Utilitarianism: Compensating Kim would be best consequence for stakeholders
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR):
Ethical training will create better customer service
Rights Theory: Mrs. Kim has right to be treated equally
Nicomachean: Lee could have shown moral virtues by attending to Mrs. Kim’s injuries
thical ConsiderationsE
Aarti 30
5. What is the impact on sustainable development?
Utilitarianism: If Baron Art Mart settles, they could use the money saved from not entering lawsuit to create jobs
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR):
Society would prefer employee’s to be put in ethical training
Deontology: Duty to make shopping safe for customers
thical ConsiderationsE
Aarti 31
Alternatives and Consequences

THREAT OF SUBSTITUTE
• Solutions• Online sellers in the
industry• Discount stores• Any store willing to sell at
a profitable price with a valuation that is high by the customer for a product originally purchased at Baron
ivalry Among Existing FirmsR
Jose & Marlene 40
• Rivalry and competition is HIGH• Improved staff training, reorganization of
operations for efficiency in order to compete in the industry with little growth and small margin of profit
• CEO should promote more interaction between Marketing, Operations, and Finance to form Strategical Planning and Thinking (Stevenson, 2007)
• Retraining of strategical formulation to avoid the use of Price and instead use Strategies that promote Higher Quality, Better Service, cleanliness, and Flexibility among all employees--sense of urgency and zeal in everything.
• Firms competing online and offline

EXISTING FIRMS
trategic ConsiderationsS
Jose & Marlene 41
Further Considerations
ecommendationsR
• Legal Recommendations• By Jimmy being an employee of the company, his employers are also
liable.• Settlement highly recommended, going to court possible PR nightmare.• Also recommend terminating Jimmy’s employment.
• Statistical Analysis• A regression equation was created that calculated the real value of Ms.
Kim’s income and projected her income for the next 10 years.• In truth, Ms. Kim is only actually owed $416,203.34 rather than $500,000
in lost wages• Ethical recommendations
• The injury caused to Ms. Kim by Jimmy was an ethical violation and a massive overstepping of boundaries on Jimmy’s part.
• From a utilitarian perspective, firing Jimmy prevents him from harming other customers in the future.
• Highly recommend training Jimmy’s replacement/peers in ethical practices and restraint.
