Business Law case study from the repository of Markkula Center for

CASE STUDY : INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFERENCES ( ENGINEERING
ETHICS)
For over twenty years, Shawn has served as an electronics design
lead for a U.S. defense company. One of the few African-American
employees, Shawn has had a long-standing reputation with the
company as being reliable and technically adept. To demonstrate the
high level of trust it invested in him, the company gave Shawn the
honor of giving a formal presentations to new-hires and junior
professionals on a topic of expertise several times during the
year.
One day, Shawn was presenting on nanoparticle fabrication
techniques and noticed a senior colleague, Cory, in the audience.
Shawn remembered that during his first few months at the company,
Cory was a design manager. However, after Shawn received a rank
promotion less than a year into his employment, he recalled Cory
being seemingly unhappy with his success because he started making
passing remarks to Shawn like “Isn’t it a good day? Affirmation
action is alive and well!”
As Shawn concluded his presentation and entered into Q&A,
Cory questioned Shawn’s method of reasoning. Although he was a
non-expert on nanoparticle fabrication techniques, Cory contended
the mathematical derivations Shawn used to prove his designs were
invalid.
Shawn attempted to justify his work, explaining his results were
based off performing proven repetitions of the derivation, and that
the procedure had undergone countless reviews. However, Cory was
still unconvinced, persistently claiming that Shawn was wrong.
Shawn chose not pursue the argument.
After the meeting, Shawn privately confronted Cory, and
proceeded to explain the derivations in detail. In response, Cory
exclaimed, “So you did know what you were talking about! Don’t take
it personally, Shawn; I was just making sure so you don’t mislead
the youngsters.”
Was Cory’s motive to challenge Shawn during the presentation
justified? Should Shawn do anything further with regards to the
situation?
QUESTIONS :
1) Present a summary of the case and/or its key points
.
2) What are the principles or interests at stake or in
conflict in the case?
3) What are the legal approaches or specific solutions
that were applied or could be applied to solve the real case (if
any), and in a
hypothetical case, what are some approaches from which the
conflict could be addressed, legally or not?
PLEASE ANSWER EACH QUESTIONS ( NO COPY PASTE )
SUBJECT : BUSINESS LAW
I WILL GIVE A THUMBS UP FOR A GREAT ANSWER .
