Abstract
This is a Simplified Chinese version. The managing partner of the a new enterprise group faces a sensitive meeting with the Hong Kong native senior accountant who has indicated that he is likely to resign. A serious misunderstanding, partially involving cultural differences, has evolved over his temporary assignment to an audit, when he wants to specialize in tax. The views of a number of other partners and managers involved in the situation are included. Confusion arises over conflicting signals from the senior accountant about his willingness to take on the audit assignment. A companion case, 'Bob Chen', describes the situation from the senior accountant's point of view. The pair of cases are designed for use in a role play.
