In your response posts, take the opposite position. While being polite, take the opposite position from your classmate’s post, and try to persuade them they have a flawed position. (Be nice). Being persuasive without insulting is an art. Practice this here.

I believe if the company receives a solicited formal proposal outlining the solution to a particular problem, it is not ethical for the company to adopt the appropriate proposal without hiring the firm. The company needs to do a proper investigation and make sure to find out enough information about their competitors. It needs to have every detail and information available in order to understand the costs and the breakdown of the plan. Highlighting the main points of the proposal would give the company a better insight of the proposal. Although that would be beneficial, it would only highlight the main points of the proposal without revealing the whole plan.
