The DSL de Mexico case series consists of four cases (one primary case and three one-page case extensions) which focus on the ethical dilemmas managers often face in international business. DSL is a $200 million, US-based shipping company which is relatively new to Mexico. The DSL (A) case documents the history of DSL in Mexico, reviews industry conditions and provides background on the devaluation of the Mexican peso. The case focuses on Lane Cook, the 28 year old General Manager of DSL de Mexico, as he contemplates how to respond to a questionable request by a potential customer. The accompanying DSL de Mexico (B) and (C) cases present a series of follow-up ethical dilemmas for Cook to address. The (D) case can be handed out at the end of the class period as an up-date. The entire case series should fill a 90-minute class.

This case is about the high profile firing of Julie Roehm (Roehm) from the world's largest retail chain Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (Wal-Mart) and the ugly aftermath that saw both the parties engage in legal (as well as public) battle. Roehm was a highflier in the automotive industry who had earned a name for herself due to her edgy advertising tactics. In early 2006, she was hired by Wal-Mart in the newly created position of Senior Vice President of Marketing Communication. This was viewed by some analysts as the retail giant's move to shake up its marketing department. However, in late 2006, Roehm was fired from the company amidst rumors of her violating Wal-Mart's ethics and gratuity policy. Shortly afterwards, Roehm filed a civil suit against Wal-Mart for unlawfully terminating her employment, infringing compensation agreements, and for slandering her in the press. In reply Wal-Mart accused her of violating its employment policies. The public battle between Roehm and Wal-Mart became murkier by the day with Roehm accusing Wal-Mart's top brass including the CEO of violating its ethics code. Analysts felt that this episode brought to the fore various issues which could provide vital learning on organization culture, organizational change, office politics, organizational communication, managerial ethics, employee misconduct, employee surveillance, etc.

The $256.3 billion retail chain Wal-Mart has the distinction of being the world's largest company. Founder Sam Walton carried the company to new heights. As his term drew to a close, Walton debated whether to have a family member, or an outsider, or a company employee succeed him. After weighing the pros and cons, Walton decided to make his eldest son the chairman after he died. He groomed David Glass a senior employee to take over as Wal-Mart's CEO (Chief Executive Officer) in 1988. The Walton family is quite happy to stay away from day-to-day operations. But it has decided to be watchful and groom the next generation of Waltons to understand their responsibilities. Succession planning under Glass gathered momentum in the mid-1990s. Glass chose Lee Scott, an insider to succeed him in 2000. Wal-Mart's board members and investors are happy at how smoothly the Glass-Scott transition has gone. The case discusses how proactive succession planning at Wal-Mart has ensured that there is no leadership vacuum.
