What ethical problems do you see with the Price Waterhouse partnership evaluation system?

2. Suppose that you were a partner and a member of either the admissions committee or the policy board.

• What objections, if any, would you have made to any of the comments by the partners?
• What would have made it difficult for you to object?
• How might your being a female partner in that position have made objections more difficult?

3. In what ways, if any, do you find the subjectivity of the evaluation troublesome?

• What aspects of the evaluation would you change?

4. To what extent did the partners' comments reflect mixed motives (i.e., to what extent did their points express legal factors while at the same time expressing illegal ones)?

5. Ms. Hopkins listed three factors to help companies avoid what happened to her:

a. Clear direction from the top of the enterprise,

b. Diversity in management, and

c. Specificity in evaluation criteria. Give examples of how a company could implement these factors.
