Question #: 23
Topic #: 1
[All BAPv5 Questions]

Imran is the chief executive of FairCrops, a producer of ethically and sustainably sourced coffee and cocoa products. He is a true advocate of the FairCrops brand and has seen the positive impact of its approach in the South American regions in which It operates. He believed that there is a market for customers who want to ensure the products they consume have been purchased for a fair price and where the producer has not been unfairly treated.

FairCrops provide their products via an exclusive contract with Donald, the owner of Rest House; a small chain of coffee shops.

Ronaldo is a supplier to FairCrops. The prices he receives means he can provide for Ins family and enhance his crop yield through the advice and training provided by Alan, the FairCrops local representative and support officer

From Imran's perspective, which of the following is a CORRECT partial CATWOE analysis of this situation?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A partial CATWOE analysis of this situation from Imran's perspective would identify Donald as the customer, Alan as the actor, and Imran as the owner. Donald is the customer because he is the beneficiary of FairCrops' products and services. Alan is the actor because he is the one who implements FairCrops' approach in the South American regions. Imran is the owner because he is the chief executive of FairCrops and has the authority to make decisions about its direction and purpose. Option A is the correct answer.

Wait, are we supposed to analyze this like it's some kind of ethical coffee supply chain or something? I was just hoping for a nice caffeine fix, not a business ethics quiz!

Hmm, I don't know, this CATWOE stuff is a bit confusing. Maybe I should just go with my gut and choose the one that sounds the most 'fair'.

Yeah, I agree. Imran owns FairCrops, Alan is the one providing support, and Ronaldo benefits from the prices he receives.

Because the customer is Alan, the actor is Donald, and the actor is Ronaldo. It makes more sense in this situation.

Option A? Really? How can the customer be Donald when he's just a middleman? Imran's the one driving this whole ethical business model.
