Problem identification whether the

whistle blower is a saint or sinner for
an organization?
PROS:
Whistle-blowers keep companies honest. It is a strong
means to deter company wrong doings. In fact, if we had
more whistleblowers there may not have been the economic
crisis caused by all sorts of bad behavior in the banking and
lending sector. Top management needs to encourage
whistle-blowing by employees when they see unethical
practices.
CONS :
At times it could become absolute a form of extortion. In
the TAP case, it looks like Durand did not do his homework
and address his concerns appropriately. 30% of the fine is a
little high. We can discourage false whistleblowers with a
more fair compensation policy.

collected 500 boxes of documents containing evidences against
TAP. Finally TAP settled the issue in 2001 & Durands take was
$126 millions But, Prosecutors filed criminal fraud against TAP to
send a strong signal to pharmaceutical industry. Then the holes in
Durands story came to know - The kick backs of Durand never

paid by Doctors themselves. Boston Federal Jury cleared of all
charges. Durand was now retired.

In this case of Douglas Durand former VP of sales for TAP, it

was his good ethics and intuition to correct the wrongdoing
of the organization while using the precise process of
decision-making and chose to go through the court system
to punish the company for what they have doing illegally.
The reasoning is that having informants report on company
wrongdoings is the best way to prevent illegal activity.
The reason was for his innocence is there were 500 boxes
of evidence and the case settled. In addition, it cost TAP
over 1 billion dollars of legal fees to clear them of all
wrongdoing.
