Discussion Prompt

Assume that you are one of FETs senior executives whose annual salary is based on the performance of the firms common stock. You realize that if FET recalls the affected micro system, the stock price will suffer; thus, your salary for the year will be less than you expected. To complicate matters, you just purchased an expensive house based on your salary expectations for the next few yearsexpectations that will not be realized unless the new micro system is a success for FET.

As one of the senior executives, you will help determine what course of action FET will follow with respect to the micro system.

Q: What should you do? Should you encourage FET to recall the micro system until further testing is completed? Or can you suggest another course of action?
