Question Answered step-by-step In consideration of a case study (Building a facility in Qatar),… In consideration of a case study (Building a facility in Qatar), Peter Schmidt is the leader of a large multinational organization.  Aamir Momin is an operations specialist working at a satellite office in Qatar.  Peter is eager to build another facility in Qatar, given the recent business success in that region.  Aamir is tasked with overseeing the process to plan and build the facility.  When they have a conversation, Peter asks Aamir what the latest update is on the new facility there.  He responds that overall it is going well, but there have been a few encounters with unavoidable obstacles during the process.  Hence, the architect had a stroke; therefore, he could not finish the drawings and another individual had to be hired.  Aamir tells Peter that the new architect turned in the drawings minutes ago.  Peter tells Aamir that they were supposed to have building permits by now.  He further asks how are they to meet the open date if they do not have the necessary permits to build?  Additionally, Peter shares with Aamir that getting building permits is a long process.  Aamir apologizes to Peter saying that they could not apply for the permits until they had the drawings from the architect.  Peter says “this is less than ideal” and he requires Aamir to go over the drawings during the weekend and finish the application for the permits so that he can turn them in first thing Monday morning.  (Aamir tells Peter it is already 5:30 p.m. on a Friday and he is celebrating Eid al-Fitr which is a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims marking the end of fasting in Ramadan).  This means for the next three days, Aamir is unable to work.  Furthermore, Peter tells Aamir he needs to figure out a way to get this thing done due to being under pressure to open up the new facility and being behind schedule.  Although Aamir apologizes to Peter and shares how important this religious holiday is, he proposes a solution.  Aamir suggests bribing the permit official instead of spending the time for a formal application process.  Peter tells Aamir this sounds risky but asks how long would they have to wait for the permit “if” they bribe the official.  Aamir answers that it would only be a few days as opposed to a few months and says they would then be ahead of schedule.  Finally, Aamir tells Peter that “everyone bribes government officials here (Qatar)” and that “it is part of the culture”.  Peter says this is tempting and that it would be nice to get ahead of schedule.  Peter proposes to call his colleague and will provide Aamir with a definite answer.   As the I/O psychologist in the case study  1.
