The case illustrates that the negotiations should be based assumptions as they may or may not be right.

It is a typical example of how the current power on one side can dominate and take complete advantage of their position.

Canadian based company, Saralyn Mills, is in need of a new marketing strategy to repair the current shortage of sales in Quebec, Canada.
