When an executive defects

The news that one of the company's senior managers is leaving comes as a complete surprise to Paul Simmonds, CEO of Kinsington Textiles, Inc. Ned Carpenter, KTI's vice president of operations for three years, writes in his resignation letter than he is leaving for a better opportunity. Simmonds soon learns that Carpenter's new job is at Daltex, one of KTI's main rivals in the intensely competitive carpet industry. Hiring Carpenter had helped Simmonds establish his reputation as a topnotch manager. Carpenter came to KTI with lots of ideas and put his enthusiasm to good use. Three years into a five-year change program, Carpenter had turned KTI's operations from one of the worst in the industry to one of the best. He also had helped develop and plan the upcoming launch of a new fiber coating--KTI's first breakthrough in years. In this fictitious case study, Simmonds, along with the company's counsel and vice president of human resources, must figure out how much and what sort of damage control they need. What are they going to tell the company's employees and the media? Should they immediately replace Carpenter with John Brady, the second-in-command of operations? What if Carpenter is taking KTI employees--and strategic information--with him to Daltex? Should Simmonds ask all his managers to sign noncompete agreements-something Carpenter was never asked to do? Should KTI sue Carpenter? Five experts offer advice about communicating with KTI's employees, the media, and Carpenter himself, and about protecting the company's confidential information.

建立审计管理信息系统 促进审计管理现代化

近几年,全国各级审计机关都已配备了一定数量的计算机,并且市级以上审计机关开通了本级审计机关以ＷｉｎｄｏｗｓＮＴ为操作平台的局域网络和以本级审计机关为中心用电话线———Ｍｏｄｅｍ与下一级审计机关相联的远程通讯网络,为推动审计工作现代化的发展奠定了物质基础。但由于缺乏必要的审计管理软件,未能很好地发挥其网络应有的作用。要充分发挥计算机网络的作用,实现数据共享,就需要开发建立审计管理信息系统,将审计工作计划、审计业务文档、审计进度等审计业务信息和法规、资料、人事、财务等辅助信息都存储在网络服务器中,网络中的各…
