Case
Abstract
Unlike other examples of unethical behavior, you might study, no one described in this case became ridiculously wealthy or wound up in prison in South America; no one was sued nor did a business fail. In fact, no one even lost their job. Yet ethical challenges occurred; the events portrayed herein have been disguised and fictionalized, but they largely occurred as described. That is to say, the events of this “tale” are not fiction but rather historical fact surrounding the financial forecasts of More Than Parts, Inc. (MTP) a manufacturer of machinery.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to be an endorsement of any kind.
