As a new systems analyst at Premier Financial Services, you are getting quite an education. You report to Mary, the IT manager, who also chairs the systems review committee. Several months ago, the committee rejected a request from Jack, the finance director, for an expensive new accounts payable system, because the benefits did not appear to outweigh the costs. Yesterday, Mary’s boss called her in and asked her to reconsider Jack’s request, and to persuade the other members to approve it.

She picked it up and heard the voice of Patrick, her VP of finance. He began, “Joy, I have a vendor invoice here. It shows that Dr. Squirrel had bought a computerized patient management system, costing $250,000. Its deployment would cost us another $250,000, i.e., a total of half a million dollars! All I want to know is whether you have approved it.” “No, I have not,” answered Joy hanging up angrily, trying to visualize the face of Dr. Squirrel, a big gun in the company, both as an anesthesiology expert and shareholder owner, when she tells the board about this purchase.
