The first case in this group of case studies deals with the issues of shareholders' interest in a business. The importance of accurate and timely disclosure is the focal point of Case 13.1.

Case 13.3 shifts shareholder interest from an issue of money to one of moral interest. The influence of that shareholders have over a company and its practices is explored.

The topic of executive salaries as examined in 13.5. The growing disparity of executive-level pay versus worker-level pay is shown as a having grown disproportionately in recent years. The discussion questions deal with the impact of this pattern upon business.

The charitable organizations that a corporation chooses to support is brought up in Cases 13.6 and 13.7.

The final case focuses on the excessive compensation paid to the president of a national charitable organization. The resulting fall in donations is discussed as one of the effects that this disclosure had upon the contributing public.
