Abstract
This case concerns issues related to an inter-governmental joint venture comprised of a regional state university, a county government, and two city governments, in overseeing a jointly funded operation. The case describes the resulting ambiguous chain of command, failure to provide top management support, and power conflict. Secondary issues involve the failure to implement secure information processing procedures. After months of conflict, a compromise that smoothed over the organizational structure problem without resolving it was reached. The case is suitable for graduate and advanced undergraduate business management and management information systems courses. The case has a difficulty level of four. Students should spend from eight to ten hours outside of class analyzing the case, depending on the breadth and depth of the analysis the instructor desires.
