When mary daviS, aSSociate vice preSident
for plant management at Whitewater Brewing Company,
wrote an article for a large metropolitan newspaper in her
state, she hadn’t realized where it would lead. At first she
was thrilled to see her words published. Then she was just
worried about keeping her job.
It all started when her husband, Bob, who was working on
his MBA, talked her into taking an evening class with him. She
did and, to her surprise, really got into the course, spending
most of her weekends that semester working on her term
project—a study of wine and beer marketing. Among other
things her essay discussed those respectable wine companies
like E. & J. Gallo (the nation’s largest) that market cheap, forti-
fied wines such as Thunderbird and Night Train Express. With
an alcohol content 50 percent greater and a price far less than
regular wine, these screw-top wines are seldom advertised
and rarely seen outside poor neighborhoods, but they repre-
sent a multimillion dollar industry. Skid-row winos are their
major consumers, a fact that evidently embarrasses Gallo,
because it doesn’t even put its company name on the label.86
Mary’s essay went on to raise some moral questions
about the marketing of malt liquor, a beer brewed with sugar
for an extra punch of alcohol. It has been around for about
forty years; what is relatively new is the larger size of the
container. A few years ago, the industry introduced malt liquor
in 40-ounce bottles that sell for about three dollars. Packing
an alcohol content roughly equivalent to six 12-ounce beers
or five cocktails, 40s quickly became the favorite high of
many inner-city teenagers. Ads for competing brands stress
potency—“It’s got more” or “The Real Power”—and often
use gang slang. Get “your girl in the mood quicker and get
your jimmy thicker,” raps Ice Cube in a commercial for St. Ides
malt liquor. Like baggy pants and baseball caps turned back-
ward, 40s soon moved from the inner city to the suburbs.
Teenage drinkers like the quick drunk, and this worries drug
counselors. They call 40s “liquid crack” and “date rape
brew.”87
Mary’s instructor liked her article and encouraged her to
rewrite it for the newspaper. The problem was that Whitewater
also brews a malt liquor, called Rafter, which it had recently
started offering in a 40-ounce bottle. True, Mary’s article
mentioned Whitewater’s brand only in passing, but top man-
agement was distressed by her criticisms of the whole indus-
try, which, they thought, damaged its image and increased
the likelihood of further state and federal regulation. The
board of directors thought Mary had acted irresponsibly, and
Ralph Jenkins, the CEO, had written her a memo on the
board’s behalf instructing her not to comment publicly about
malt liquor without first clearing her remarks with him. Mary
was hurt and angry.

was hurt and angry.
“I admit that the way the newspaper edited my essay and
played up the malt liquor aspect made it more sensationalis-
tic,” Mary explained to her colleague Susan Watts, “but every-
thing I said was true.”
“I’m sure it was factual,” replied Susan, “but the company
thought the slant was negative. I mean, lots of ordinary peo-
ple drink Rafter.”
3. “I know that. Bob even drinks it sometimes. I don’t know
why they are so upset about my article. I barely mentioned
Rafter. Anyway, it’s not like Rafter is a big moneymaker. Most
of our other beers outsell it.”
“Well,” continued Susan, “the company is really touchy
about the whole issue. They think the product is under politi-
cal attack these days and that you were disloyal.”

Speaking out about malt

“That’s not true,” Mary replied. “I’m no troublemaker, and
I have always worked hard for Whitewater. But I do think they
and the other companies are wrong to market malt liquor the
way they do. It only makes a bad situation worse.”
The next day Mary met with Ralph Jenkins and told him
that she felt Whitewater was “invading,” as she put it, her rights
as a citizen. In fact, she had been invited to speak about wine
and beer marketing at a local high school as part of its antidrug
campaign. She intended to keep her speaking engagement
and would not subject her remarks to company censorship.
Jenkins listened but didn’t say much, simply repeating what
he had already written in his memo. But two days later Mary
received what was, in effect, an ultimatum. She must either
conform with his original order or submit her resignation.
4. d i S c u S S i o n Q u e S t i o n S
1. Do you think Mary Davis acted irresponsibly or
disloyally?
Does Whitewater have a legitimate concern about her
speaking out on this issue? Does the company have a
right to abridge her freedom of expression?
2. Is your answer to question 1 affected by whether you
agree or disagree with the views Mary Davis expressed?
3. Should there be any limits on an employee’s freedom of
expression? If not, why not? If so, under what circum-
stances is a company justified in restricting an employee’s
right to speak out?
4. The case presentation doesn’t specify whether the
newspaper article identified Mary Davis as an employee of
Whitewater. Is that a relevant issue? Does it matter what
position in the company Mary Davis holds?
5. What do you think Mary Davis ought to do? What moral
considerations should she weigh? Does she have conflict-
ing obligations? If so, what are they?
6. Is the company right to be worried about what Mary Davis
writes or says, or is the board of directors exaggerating the
potential harm to Whitewater of her discussing these issues?
7. Assume a CEO like Ralph Jenkins is legitimately worried
that an employee is making damaging statements about
the company. How should the CEO handle the situation?
Is discharge or some sort of discipline called for? Should
the company adopt a formal policy regarding employee
speech? If so, what policy would you recommend?

advocates frequently emphasize the importance, from both a
moral and a practical point of view, of companies’ respecting
the rights of their employees. Many employees spend long
hours at work and remain tethered to the job by phone or
computer even when they are off-site; not just their careers
but also their friendships, social identity, and emotional lives
are tied up with their work. All the more reason, it seems,
that companies should recognize and respect their moral,
political, and legal rights. But enshrined in our Constitution is
one right that frequently gets overlooked in discussions of the
workplace: the right to bear arms.88

CSIS 325
CMS Project – Phase II Instructions
In this phase, you will create tables based upon the ERD and
SQL code below.You will then populate each table with the data
presented below. Finally, you will create queries that will be
used to support reports for Accounting and Management. You
will not actually create the reports in a GUI environment, only
the queries that will serve as the basis for the reports.
Screenshots are required for a grade to be given. One screenshot
is not the idea; however, multiple screenshots along the way is
the goal.
Background:
The following ERD will be used as the basis for this Phase.
Part A: Table Creation and Data Loading
Instructions: Create a new database in SQL Server and run the
following CREATE TABLE commands. Note that you must run
the CREATE TABLE statements in the order presented (and
load the data in the order presented) to avoid conflicts resulting
from foreign key constraints.

Part B: Reports
1. Human Resources:
The HR department requires a list of all the employees who are
employed by CMS. This information should be organized as
follows:
22. Region
Country
Employee name (Last, First)
Title + Level (e.g. “Consultant - 1”)
Salary (in USD)
*Sort data in ascending order first by region, then by country,
then by employee last name, then by title, and then by salary.
Instructions:
For this assignment, write the query that produces the results as
described above.
2. Invoicing
Accounting requires information to produce invoices. For each
client, CMS’s invoicing controller must know the following
information as of the last day of each month:
Client name
Contract name(s)
Project(s)
Employees who logged hours to a project from the first day of
the current month until the last day of the current month
Totalnumber of hours logged for each employee during the
month
Employee rate
Total charges per employee (i.e. employee rate x employee
hours worked)
Billing contact(s)(name, address)for each contract
*Sort data in ascending order first by client, then by project,
and then by employee.
Instructions:
All of this information should be produced using a single query
that can serve as the basis for a report.Do not use views or
stored procedures in conjunction with your query.
For this assignment, you will write your query for only the
month of April 2013. You may hardcode the month number in
your query. In the realworld, you would likely run this report
for the current month, in which case you would want to use the
getdate() function to retrieve the current date. Conversely, you
23. might produce this query as a stored procedure that takes a
given month as an argument and returns a resultset. For your
assignment, however, just assume this report will be run for
April 2013 and hardcode this date in your query to produce the
results.
3. Benefit Tracking
The HR department requires a report that provides information
on benefit information. Assume a calendar year whereby new
benefit allotments are granted as of January 1 and must be used
by December 31 of same year. No carryover benefits are
allowed.
Number of benefits days allotted to each employee
Number of benefit days taken year-to-date
Number of benefit days remaining in the calendar year
Number of holidays allotted to each employee
Number of holidays taken year-to-date
Number of holidays remaining in the calendar year
*Data mustbe sorted in ascending order by employee last name.
Instructions:
For this assignment, write a query that produces the results
described above. Assume that you are running the report for the
2013 calendar year. As in the previous report, in the realworld,
you would likely use the getdate() function to determine the
current date and run the report from the beginning of the current
year until the present time. For this assignment, however, you
may hardcode the year 2013 in your query and retrieve all of the
data for that year.
4. Management Exception Reporting
a. Management must keep track of employees whose combined
hours have exceeded the maximum allowed hours on projects.
This report must be run before invoicing occurs in order to
prevent billing in excess of contractual amounts. Show only
projects whose cap amounts have been exceeded.
Project name
24. Maximum allowed hours per project
Total hours worked on project
Overage (the difference between the cap and actual hours)
*Sort data by project name.
b. In a separate query, show the details for the projects whose
cap amounts have been exceeded:
Project name
Employees who worked on project
Total hours worked on project per employee
*Sort data by project name and then by employees who worked
on the project
Instructions:
For this assignment, write a query for 4(a) and a separate query
for 4(b). The results mustreflect the requirements described
above.
5. Payroll
The payroll department requires a report of employees who are
logging more hours per week than they are legally required to
work per country stipulations. These employees are paid
overtime wages for hours worked in excess of weekly stipulated
hours.
Employee name
Employee country
Weekly Hours per employee per country
Hours logged by employee in current week
Instructions:
For this assignment, produce a query that determines employees
who have incurred overtime during April 2013.
Phase II Deliverables:
1. In a Word document, take screen shots of the data in each of
your tables using basic SELECT statements.
For example, SELECT * from Clients
2. Write queries for each of the reports above. In the same Word
25. document, include screenshots of your queries from SQL Server
Express (or SQL Server). Below EACH query, include (via
screen shots) the results of each query.
3. Name your Word document as follows: “Phase II CMS
Project – your last name followed by your first initial.”
