| Managing a Crisis through a Meeting | |
 Scene 1 Getting the Ball Rolling |
|
| T = Ted, M = Mike, K = Kelly, S = Sally | |
| T: | Is everyone here? OK, let's get started. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss our options concerning the latest move by one of our suppliers, East-Tech. East-Tech has decided to compete directly against us in our own markets, using technology we invented. |
| M: | As senior legal counsel, I hold the view you must take action fast on this. |
| K: | I agree. As far as I'm concerned, we need to drop them as our supplier as soon as possible — the sooner the better. We need to let them know we mean business. |
| S: | I don't mean to butt in, but if we break our contract with East-Tech, couldn't that be viewed as a breach of contract? Mike, I'd like your input on that possibility. |
| M: | You're quite right, Sally. If you simply broke the contract, East-Tech would have grounds for legal action. When I said you must act quickly, I meant you should sue for patent infringement. |

英語會議動起來 |
|
| 泰德： | 大家都到了嗎？好，我們開始吧。這場會議的目的是要討論對於供應商之一，東方科技的最新舉動，我們有何選擇。東方科技已決定利用我們所發明的技術，在我們的市場與我們正面交鋒。 |
| 麥可： | 身為資深法律顧問，我抱持的觀點是你們必須迅速對此採取行動。 |
| 凱莉： | 我贊成。就我來看，我們得盡快終止其供應商的身分，越快越好。我們得讓他們知道我們是認真的。 |
| 莎莉： | 我不是故意要插嘴，但如果我們破壞與東方科技的合約，這樣不會被視為違約嗎？麥可，我想聽聽你對這個可能性的看法。 |
| 麥可： | 莎莉，妳說得對。單單只是毀約的話，東方科技就有理由採取法律行動。當我說你必須即刻反應，我的意思是你應該以專利侵權的理由來提告。 |
