Scenario # 3: Ethical DilemmaIn 2006, Hewlett-Packard Development Company LP became embroiled in a controversy over methods used to investigate media leaks from its board. HP Chairperson Patricia Dunn could have simply asked the directors who was the source cited in the story, sought an apology and gone from there. With some direct face-to-face communication, the story would likely have ended quickly. It did not. “Not only did investigators impersonate board members, employees and journalists to obtain their phone records, but according to multiple reports, they also surveilled an HP director and a reporter for CNet Networks Inc. They sent monitoring spyware in an e-mail to that reporter by concocting a phoney tip. They even snooped on the phone records of former CEO and Chairperson Carly Fiorina, who had launched the quest to identify media sources in the first place.” The situation continued to escalate. For example, the New York Times reported that HP consultants even considered…

5.4 ETHICS CASE: PERFORMANCE MEASURES Adapted from Textbook Problem 18-32 Bill Fremont, division controller and CMA, was upset by a recent memo he received from the divisional manager, Steve Preston. Bill was scheduled to present the division's financial performance at headquarters in one week. In the memo, Steve had given Bill some instructions for this upcoming report. In particular, Bill had been told to emphasize the significant improvement in the division's profits over last year. Bill, however, didn't believe that there was any real underlying improvement in the division's performance and was reluctant to say otherwise. He knew that the increase in profits was because of Steve's conscious decision to produce more inventory. In an earlier meeting, Steve had convinced his plant managers to produce more than they knew they could sell. He argued that by deferring some of this period's fixed costs, reported profits would jump. He pointed out two significant benefits. First, by…

CASE STUDY-1 (Read the case and answer all of the given questions): VOLKSWAGEN: THE SCANDAL EXPLAINED What is Volkswagen accused of? It's been dubbed the "diesel dupe". In September, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that many VW cars being sold in America had a "defeat device" - or software - in diesel engines that could detect when they were being tested, changing the performance accordingly to improve results. The German car giant has since admitted cheating emissions tests in the US. VW has had a major push to sell diesel cars in the US, backed by a huge marketing campaign trumpeting its cars' low emissions. The EPA's findings cover 482,000 cars in the US only, including the VW-manufactured Audi A3, and the VW models Jetta, Beetle, Golf and Passat. But VW has admitted that about 11 million cars worldwide, including eight million in Europe, are fitted with the so-called "defeat device". The company has also been accused by the EPA of modifying software on the 3 litre…

Case Study: Petrol price regulation in South Africa In South Africa, government has intervened in and/or regulated markets involved in the manufacture, distribution, and retailing of liquid fuels in various ways since the 1930s without providing formal reasons for doing so. By 1998, the White Paper on Energy Policy referred to 'a labyrinthine set of regulatory controls' (RSA 1998: 5). While the instruments used have changed over time, the evidence suggests that the primary reason for market interventions has been to support investors in various parts of the value chain. This has been achieved by limiting competition. To a lesser extent, there has been a wish to protect motorists from excessive pricing. In addition, over time social policy objectives have become entangled in petrol price regulation. These relate to the promotion of small businesses and job creation. More recently, Black economic empowerment has been added to the list. This mixture of reasons has made it difficult for…
