Learning Objectives

This case is intended for use in undergraduate or graduate courses or modules on leadership, business ethics, corporate governance, or international resource development. The case provides sufficient detail to also support a discussion on foreign anti-corruption policies. Students should be familiar with the basics of corporate governance and the role of a board of directors in a public company before discussing the case. Working through the case and assignment questions, students will have the opportunity to

consider the role of personal values in making business decisions;
strategically evaluate options in a morally complex situation;
articulate an ethical decision to influence others; and
develop strategies for delivering controversial or bad news.
