Abstract
Anna Harris is a highly-regarded auditing manager in a large, national accounting firm. She wants to return to her job part-time after her pregnancy, becoming the first part-time manager in the office. Her re-ordered priorities put her family first and she is not sure how her new emphasis will affect her career. Her supervisory partner wants her to come back but is concerned about how clients will accept having a part- time manager looking after their interests. In addition, he is unsure of the support he will get from the other partners. Company policy on the issue of career development and family responsibilities is unclear. (A sequel to this case titled Anna Harris (B), case 9A86C034, examines Anna''s situation two years later.)
