Debi Coleman and Apple Computer, Inc.
Abstract
A companion case to Donna Dubinsky and Apple Computer (A) and (B). In a conflict with Dubinsky over the introduction of a new just-in-time distribution system, this case provides Coleman's side of the story. Coleman's perception of the issue is quite different and her stakes in the matter are tied up with her division's problems. In addition, the case raises a new issue about how to respond to a charismatic leader's requests to make changes when you don't believe in them yourself.
