Instructions: Form a group for this activity (refer to teacher for grouping). This group will be your permanent group for the semester. Meet with your group and answer the case below following the format given.

Might Makes Right Janice is a highly educated top executive in charge of research and development. John is her underpaid assistant struggling to support his family. His performance evaluations have always been more than adequate. As one of his research projects, John designs a creative software package that addresses major concerns within the company. He shares this program with Janice, hoping it will bring him a much needed promotion and raise. Janices boss has asked her to design an innovative and efficient program. But pressures of her position keep her from setting aside sufficient time to do the requested work. Janice, eager to successfully complete the job her boss assigned, is thinking of presenting Johns program to her boss and passing it off as her own. If John objects, she can threaten to lower his performance evaluations or possibly even fire him.
