Summary:

The case surrounds the "Fat Leonard" scandal that has plagued the U.S. Navy's 7th Fleet for nearly two decades. The scandal takes place primarily in Southeast Asia and focuses on bribery and corruption that has occurred in the region as far back as 2006. The central key player in the scandal is Leonard Glenn Francis, known as "Fat Leonard", who is a Malaysian national and founder of Glenn Defense Marine Asia (GDMA). The accusations have included bribery for preferential contracts, inflation of invoices, sharing of classified Naval shipping routes, prostitution and excessive gift giving and receiving. Students will comprehend the complexities of ethical decision-making in a cross-cultural context. Key takeaways include an increased understanding of how cultural, ethical and organizational issues interact in a foreign environment and how values can be compromised with a weak or fragile organizational culture.
