For this discussion, I want you to reflect upon a scene in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. The scenario's plot in the clip can be described as follows:
Two large ferries are leaving Gotham: one full of criminals, the other occupied by innocent citizens. Imagine that you are on the boat full of innocent citizens. The two boats suddenly lose all power, and it becomes clear that both are wired with deadly explosives. Detonators are discovered on each ferry, and they will set off the explosives on the other ship. The Joker's voice comes over the loudspeaker of the ferries, and he announces that he is performing a “social experiment”. One ferry’s passengers must press its detonator’s button and destroy the other boat by midnight, or else the Joker will explode both boats.
What should you do as a passenger on the boat full of innocent citizens? If one were to push the button and blow up the prisoners, what might that say about their character? Is pushing the button the morally right thing to do in this case?

Team Leader’s Challenge 1 You have just become the manager of an insurance office with five professional agents and several clerical assistants. The office is part of a larger company headquartered in another city. Your office handles both sales and the processing of insurance claims. The office has been traditionally organized, with the manager running the office and supervising each employee individually. You have heard a lot about the advantages of shifting to teamwork—it is popular in the business press. Shifting to teamwork is supposed to improve customer service, make the office more responsive to changes, and improve morale. However, you have also heard that it can be difficult to create and manage teams. You are comfortable and capable as a traditional manager, but think maybe you should try something new, such as teamwork. What are the pros and cons of reorganizing the office into a team? Who should be on the team? Should the team include both the professionals and the clerical assistants? How much authority or control should you maintain over the team?

10. You recently joined an AI (artificial intelligence) spin-out that has been launched by PhD students of the University of Oxford. The company has developed a range of proprietary algorithms that allow it to locate the source of malaria outbreaks, and predict the pace of the spread and the duration of the outbreak. The project has received public funding in the form of a research grant, but the funds may run out before the product is market ready. A new research grant application would delay the launch for 12 months but it is highly likely that the grant application will be successful. After the company has received some press coverage an off-shore based venture capital firm offers a much needed immediate cash injection in exchange for shares of the company.
a) You are tasked to make the final decision on whether to accept or reject the offer from the venture capital firm. Discuss how you reached your decision.
b) Discuss the short-term and long-term implications of your decision on the common good in the UK and globally.

Behavioural Aspects of Management Accounting
Consider the following quotation from a factory worker:
“I’m on a piece rate. I get $4.20 on top of my hourly pay for every
100 mouldings I press. Normally I do about 1000 a day-it’s a good
bonus. But the work is easy. I could do 2000. If I did, though, I
know what would happen. Firstly, management would decide that the
rate for the job was too generous, and would cut it. And secondly,
if we all increased our production like that, half of us would soon
be out of a job. So- take it easy, that’s my motto”.
from Elkin & Inkson (2000, p.109)
