Theranos Whistleblower Shook the Company—and His Family
(WSJ, July 2020)
5. (Video)
Dice Experiment (Dan Ariely)
"
Theranos' star was shining bright going into 2015
. The blood-testing startup had racked up a $9 billion valuation
with its big vision to test for a number of conditions using a
small sample of blood, and its CEO Elizabeth Holmes was
featured on the covers of business magazines and lists of top
executives. But then questions started being raised about how
the company's technology worked." - Business Insider.
Watch and Read about how this 'bright young thing', Stanford-
dropout, Steve Jobs-admirer, was able to establish this start-up
company, recruiting all kinds of powerful people to be either
her investors and/or board members, and then everything fell
apart. There are so many different things to discuss, but we will
focus on three topics below.
Initial/Original Post
Please respond to questions below:
It was discussed in the CNN article and also briefly mentioned
in Erika Cheung's Ted Talk that all kinds of powerful men
agreed to invest in the company or be on the board of directors.
Some of them defended Holmes vehemently for a very long time
even after the suspicion had arisen. Think about what made
them so loyal. Why are we (people in general) attracted to
fraudsters?
Erika Cheung's Ted Talk and the WSJ article on another
whistleblower, Tyler Shultz, give us a glimpse of what goes
through a whistleblower's mind. Their stories show us that job
security and the concern of retaliation from the company are not
the only things that can stop potential whistleblowers from
acting. Based on what you read and watch, discuss what factors
(which I did not discuss here) can affect individuals' decision to
become a whistleblower. You can also think of other factors
that have not been presented in the video/article.
The video 'Dice Experiment' is a snippet of that HBO
documentary, 'The Inventor', for which you watched the trailer.
While the psychology described by Dan Ariely, a renowned
behavioral economist, cannot explain Holmes's action entirely,
the result of the experiment is very interesting. Can you think of
any other example of people who committed wrongdoings
motivated by the reasons Ariely discusses in the video?
