Speaking Out About Malt – Did Mary Act Irresponsibly

  • Read Case 8.3: Speaking Out about Malt, located here or on page 311 in your textbook. Determine whether Mary acted irresponsibly or disloyally in your opinion. Describe the actions that you think Mary should take next. Explain what you would do if you were in Mary’s position.
