Oliver Greene is a relatively recent college graduate whose primary responsibility with Cyber comp, Inc. is to evaluate capital budgeting projects and make recommendations to the board of directors. He is paid very well in his current position. Oliver finds himself in a situation where the CEO of Cyber comp, Nadine Wilson, insists that the proposal to purchase Netware Products be made to look good. Netware manufactures circuitry that complements Cyber comp's products. A preliminary appraisal report given to Oliver suggests the purchase might not be very judicious; the report was completed two years ago. Nadine has made it clear to Oliver that she wants his analysis to recommend that Netware be purchased by Cyber comp. To make matters worse, the gossip at Cyber comp is that Mrs. Wilson is tied to the owners of Netware either through friendship, ownership, or both. The suggestion is that a conflict of interest exists for Mrs. Wilson. Also, Oliver has the impression that he could lose his job if he doesn't make the "right" decision.
