Beauty and Honesty at Aerospace Designs' Marketing Department (Case Overview‪)‬

CASE DESCRIPTION This case concerns a female employee, Lola Meyer, and the problems that occurred when Lola received a less than satisfactory assessment on her annual performance evaluation, one that was delivered over four months after it was due and not by her immediate boss. Lola's reaction to her negative performance evaluation was to claim sexual harassment against her boss and her coworkers (sexually-charged language and references to anatomical parts.) The case examines not only the issue of sexual harassment but also deals with the issues of time theft, fraud, and falsification of documents. The case has a difficulty level appropriate for sophomore level or above. The case is designed to be taught in one class period (may vary from fifty to eighty minutes depending upon instructional approach employed, see instructor's note) and is expected to require between two to fours hours of outside preparation by students (again, depending upon instructor's choice of class preparation method).
