Write Memos far up the Corporate Ladder
Texto en Español
Question:
Morton Thiokol doesn't want to appear like a company with a flawed product, so they would prefer that Boisjoly play down the O-ring problem. While there have been a few cases of hot gas blow-by, almost twenty flights have flown successfully. Boisjoly has already written memos expressing his view of the seriousness of the joint problem. What can he do now?
Answer: Write memos far up the corporate ladder.
It sounds as though top management has already expressed themselves on this issue.
