Abstract
Case (A) introduces the participants to Dr Sultan, who is in a dilemma when a competing university offers him a very lucrative position. The choice is deliberately one-sided. However, the situation is also bereft of any information about the individual. Most of the class recommends taking the offer. Case (B) is a brief biography of Dr Sultan. After reading about the individual, his life goals, and priorities, the class is asked to revisit the dilemma.
