The Wells Fargo scandal began unraveling in September 2016. Federal regulators divulged that Wells Fargo employees created millions of secret bank and credit card accounts without customer approval. They received a $185 million fine and revealed that they had fired 5,300 employees because of the fraud. Fast forward to 2018, the scandals continue to mount for this company.

Regulators have fined Wells Fargo for their unethical business practices. Do you believe that regulators have done enough to deter Wells Fargo from repeating this behavior or do you believe that regulators have failed and are allowing Wells Fargo to continue the status quo? What is your proposal? Support your answers by citing research on the case.

Morrigan Department Stores (The Ethics of Forced Software Upgrading)Morrigan Department Stores is a chain of department stores in Australia, New Zealand,Canada, and the United States that sells clothing, shoes, and similar consumer items in aretail setting. The top managers and their staff members meet once a year at the nationalmeeting. This year’s meeting took place in Hawaii—a geographical midpoint for them—andseveral accounting managers participated in a round-table discussion that went as follows:Roberta Gardner (United States): One of our biggest problems in our Aukland office isthe high cost and seemingly constant need to upgrade our hardware and software. Everytime our government changes the tax laws, of course, we must acquire software that reflects those changes. But why do we need new hardware too? All this discussion of‘‘64-bit machines’’ is a mystery to me, but the IT department says the hardware in the oldmachines quickly become outdated.Donalda Shadbolt (New Zealand): I’ll say! If you ask me, all these upgrades are costly,time consuming, and even counter-productive. I do a lot of work on spreadsheets, forexample, and constantly ask myself: ‘‘Why do I have to spend hours relearning how toformat a simple column of numbers in the newest version of Excel?’’ It takes time andeffort, it’s frustrating, and in the end, I’ve spent hours relearning skills that I already knowhowtodointheolderversion.Linda Vivianne (Canada): I know what you mean, but the newer hardware is faster,cheaper, and more capable than the old machines. Hard drives have moving parts in them,for example, and they eventually wear out. The newer software runs under the neweroperating systems, which are also more competent and have more built in security such asantivirus software.Ed Ghymn (Australia): I agree with you, Linda, but I think a lot of these new capabilitiesare more hype than real. If the security software was competent, we wouldn’t need allthose patches and upgrades in the first place. And why must we upgrade so often, just toget newer capabilities that most of us don’t even need?Alex McLeod (Australia): I don’t think anyone can stop the march of progress. I think thereal problem is not the upgrades to new software, but the fact that our company expects usto learn it without proper training. Personally, I don’t buy my boss’s argument that ‘‘you’rea professional and should learn it on your own.’’Linda Vivianne (Canada): I’m also beginning to realize just what advantages there arein outsourcing some of our accounting applications to cloud service providers. Thatwon’t solve all our problems because we all still need word processing and spreadsheetcapabilities, but at least we can let cloud providers deal with the software upgrades for ouraccounting software. Given how dispersed we are, that might also make it easier for us toconsolidate our financial statements at year’s end too.

Questions:

1. Do you think that Roberta Gardner’s description of “64-bit machines is accurate? Why or why not?
2. Many software vendors such as Microsoft, Adobe and Apple ship software packages with both known and unknown defects in them. Do you feel that it is ethical for them to do so? Why or why not?
3. Do you agree or disagree with the argument made in this case that many hardware and software upgrade are unnecessary? Why?
