In your former position of employment you helped develop a statistical software package that the company markets, and because of your position there you receive royalties on the sales. Your current employer needs to purchase some statistical software and has asked you to select the best available package.
You believe that the one sold by your former employer best meets the criteri a. You should:
- State that you can not participate in the selection process because of your potential bias.
- Tell the company of your financial interest in the software selected, along with the reasons for selecting it as the best option.
- Simply purchase the software because you know it is the best based on the matrix you used for analysis of the various packages.
- Select another statistical software package to avoid any possible perception of bias.
