ETHICAL ISSUES*

Emery Manufacturing Company produces component parts for the farm equipment industry and has recently undergone a major computer system conversion. Jake Murray, the controller, has established a troubleshooting team to alleviate accounting problems that have occurred since the conversion. Jake has chosen Gus Swanson, assistant controller, to head the team, which will include Linda Wheeler, cost accountant; Cindy Madsen, financial analyst; Randy Leung, general accounting supervisor; and Max Crandall, financial accountant. The team has been meeting weekly for the past month. Gus insists on being part of all the team conversations in order to gather information, to make the final decision on any ideas or actions that the team develops, and to prepare a weekly report for Jake. He has also used this team as a forum to discuss issues and disputes about him and other members of Emery's top management team. At last week's meeting, Gus told the team
that he thought a competitor might purchase the common stock of Emery, because he had overheard Jake talking about this on the telephone. As a result, most of Emery's employees now informally discuss the sale of Emery's common stock and how it will affect their jobs.
