An ethics case in which students must debate the wisdom of a dean’s decision to supplement university-capped faculty salaries with some executive education programs. Boils down to means versus ends. |

A nice introductory case for a financial accounting course. A person starting a business must draw up a beginning balance sheet, and also think about what kinds of non-accounting information will be needed to manage the business on an ongoing basis. |

An updated and slightly modified version of the classic Empire Glass Company case. Has all of the fun of Empire, but the company makes cans instead of bottles. |
