Late postings are penalized at 50 percent per day, and no postings are accepted after 11:59 pm on Saturday.

Please respond to the questions at the end of the following case from Chapter 4 of Hill’s Just Business. Dora manages the pharmacy department of a large retail store. Over the past few months, small quantities of a very expensive prescription heart medication have been disappearing on a regular basis. After setting up a hidden camera, Dora catches her technical assistant pilfering. As she is about to call the police, Dora asks him why he has turned to crime. He explains that his niece will die without the drug and that her parents cannot afford medical insurance. His request for understanding leaves Dora pondering what her next step should be.

What similar experiences have you had?
As you reflect on your past similar experience(s), what conclusions can you draw?
