    Abstract

    Jianbao, a conscientious middle manager at a state-owned enterprise, learns the ugly truth about the behavior of a trusted senior colleague, Ren, whom he once considered his mentor. Now, Jianbao must walk a fine line and find a way to balance his loyalty to Ren against the risks to the company, while also safeguarding his own career. He chooses to write a letter describing Ren’s misappropriations to the parent company’s Disciplinary Inspection Committee. This scenario is presented in Case A. In Case B, the approach backfires. Should he have handled the matter differently? Did he do the right thing but in the wrong way?
