Problem: You are a sales executive for a national equipment manufacturer. You joined the company straight out of college and have always been proud to work for the organization. Lately, however, you have become increasingly concerned about the office politics that have been going on at the corporate headquarters. Several senior executives have left, some very suddenly, and a lot of the changes can be traced back to the appointment of the CEO, Bill Thompson. Yesterday it was announced that Alex Dale, the chairman of the company (and the grandson of the founder), would be retiring at the end of the month (only two weeks away). The e-mail announcement also clarified that Bill Thompson would be assuming the position of chairman in addition to his role as CEO. You think back to your college ethics course and wonder whether this is really a good thing for the company as a whole. Would combining both roles raise any concerns for stakeholders over effective corporate governance? Why or why not?
