Answer:
Glenda Good and Danny Rock are department managers in the housewares and shoe
departments, respectively, for Litwins, a large department store. Danny has observed
Glenda taking inventory from her own department home, apparently without paying for
it. He hesitates confronting Glenda because he is due to be promoted, and needs
Glanda's recommendation. He also does not want to notify the company management
directly, because he doesn't want an ethics investigation on his record, believing that it
will give him a 'goody-goody' image. This week, Glenda tried on several pairs of
expensive running shoes in his department before finding a pair that suited her. She did
not, however, buy them. That very pair was missing this morning.
Litwins recently replaced its old periodic inventory system with a perpetual inventory
system using scanners and bar codes. In addition, the annual inventory is to be replaced
by a monthly inventory conducted by an independent firm. On hearing the news of the
changes, Danny relaxes. "The system will catch Glenda now," he says to himself.
