Use the five-step decision-making process (from Chapter 1 of the book Ethics in Information Technology: 5th edition) to analyze the following situation and recommend a course of action.

You're the CEO for a small, struggling software firm that produces educational software for high school students. Your latest software is designed to help students improve their SAT and ACT scores. To prove the value of the software, 50 students who had taken the ACT test were retested after using your software for two weeks. However, there was no dramatic increase in the scores. A statistician you hired to ensure objectivity in measuring the results claimed that the variation in test scores was statistically insignificant. You've been counting on touting the results in the promotion of your new software.

A small core group of educators and systems analysts will need at least six months to start again from scratch to design a viable product. Programming and testing could take another six months. Another option would be to go ahead and release the current version of the product and then, when the new product is ready, announce it as a new release. This would generate the cash flow necessary to keep your company afloat and save the jobs of 10 or more of your 15 employees. Given this information, what would you do?
