Can This Business be Rescued‪?‬

This teaching case describes an ethical dilemma for a small business owner operating in the challenging business environment of Belarus, 2003. Each of his four options is a viable consideration depending on the perspective through which it is considered: his role as an individual, his role within his social network, and his role as a business executive. Students learn to evaluate each option and to make difficult decisions. The case is most appropriate for ethics or decision-making classes in the areas of Organizational Behavior, Leadership, or International Management. This case would also be relevant in an executive education program. **********
