  2. The Background • Mina has an upcoming job interview and will be relying on Tom for her reference. • The job means very much to her. • Jason (Tom’s subordinate) approaches Mina with some dodgy accounts, e.g. expenses with no paperwork but all of small amounts – less than $100. • The accounts are handled by Tom. • The corporate culture is such that Jason finds it difficult to raise the issue to the state manager as it means bypassing the chain of command i.e. Tom. • To Mina’s current knowledge, Tom leads a healthy lifestyle and does not seem anxious about money.

  3. The Dilemma What should Mina do? Will it be the job or accounts… Note : • Mina is unable to query the accounts without Tom being aware of the matter.
