You are a consultant for Con-Glom Inc., an industrial equipment manufacturing firm. A
coalition of concerned scientists and environmental groups has issued a report on global
warming, the theory that the recent gradual heating of the earths atmosphere is a result
of human and industrial activity. The scientists point to several climate change risks: rising
ocean levels, erosion of shorelines, disruption of agriculture, and loss of animal habitat.
The coalitions report suggests that Con-Glom and other large corporations are using
loopholes to avoid complying with federal emissions standards because they are more
In response to the report and the public outcry it produces, Con-Glom faces a decision
about whether or not to install filtering systems at its plants. The filtering systems are
expensive to purchase and install (about $75,000 per site), and their use would initially
seriously considering installing the filtering systems and publicizing its action as a means
However, the decision is likely to be unpopular among employees and their families. The
cost of the filtering systems and the loss of manufacturing output would force Con-Glom
to scale back production by 5% and close one of its eleven production facilities. If the
filtering systems are installed at ten facilities, the company will be forced to close its oldest
and least efficient manufacturing plant, located in Greenwich, Illinois. This action would
put 1,400 employees out of work, in an area already suffering from high unemployment.
Alternatively, the company could install the filtering systems at only five of its plants. In
this case, the Greenwich, Illinois plant would not need to be closed, but production would
still need to be scaled back and 700 employees would be laid off.
Directions:
The company's CEO, William B. Friedman, has asked you to assess the situation facing
the company and suggest a solution to the problem. Write a memo to Mr. Friedman in
which you discuss your solution. A secondary audience might be the members of his
Management Committee.
