Abstract
For teaching purposes, this is the case-only version of the HBR case study. The Clarinda Company is struggling and may go under. Its main customer has just pulled out, taking a quarter of the typesetting firm's revenues with it, and David, Clarinda's president, has had to lay off 20% ohis workforce. What's more, he's also had to fire Dan, his longtime partner and mentor, for drunkenness. How much of this should David share with the others in his small customer base? He'd like to get their help in selling the firm - but will they all bail if they know just how leaky the ship has become?
