.. AT&T 10:27 AM 0 1 87% Assignment Details Management Seminar - Online Course-2020SS-001-30368 A Wall Street trading company, Smith/Blackwell, is coming to the end of their 4th Quarter. Bestel Inc. has offered to invest 4 million dollars with Smith/Blackwell which would not only save the department from lay-offs but would also create year-end bonuses for the manager's team, which in recent months has been plagued by very low morale. In order to process the investment before year's end, some procedural steps would need to be "abbreviated/skipped/ignored." The shareholders of Bestel will not meet until mid-January and therefore will not approve the investment until then. Therefore, Gina presents a situation in which she plans to sidestep procedure to arrive at the advantageous outcome for the department, and she wants Jason's support. While the Chairman of the Board, Jack, has assured Gina that the vote will pass and that he has talked to the key shareholders personally, the truth is, he does not have the power to make this decision without the boards' actual vote. Watch the Manager's Hot Seat case: Let's make a 4th quarter deal and answer the following questions: 1. What is the source of this conflict and what role has the organization played to contribute to this dilemma? 2. What are the pros and cons of doing business ethically and unethically?
