Abstract
On 2 December 2001, Enron Corporation filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11. One of the most highly publicized business debacles in history - its settlements, criminal charges, civil charges, and workouts will continue for years. But outside of the courts and sensational press, what really happened? What caused the collapse of what at one time was the sixth largest company in the United States? The case explores the Enron story - in an attempt to not only answer the question of what happened, but what may be learned from this failure.
