M4A2 Midterm Case Analysis BUS 523 Business Ethics for Managers Introduction This paper is a case analysis of the Integrative Case of DHR Patio Homes, LLC and the increased difficulty they are having conducting their business. First, this paper will examine the underlying issues, and what Hodgetts and Davis perceive as the causes of those issues, and the facts that potentially support those issues. Next, potential solutions to the issues will be discussed and evaluated. Finally, a recommendation will be made to Hodgetts and Davis to implement one of the proposed solutions and what the expectations of the outcome would be if that solution were implemented. Discussion Despite early troubles securing their loan, Davis and Hodgetts were able to secure funding and began work on their homebuilding project. Business was going very well for them, putting them in a position to pay off their loan early. A year into their project, Davis noticed that despite his good credit standing, it was becoming increasingly difficult to draw funds from DHR’s loan, making it difficult to pay their suppliers. This was straining DHR’s relationship with its suppliers, resulting in delays and additional fees. After a meeting with their creditor, it became apparent that there was an underlying issue at play: despite the bank’s insistence that nothing about their relationship had changed, the bank president revealed that the bank’s auditors were now requiring a third party review DHR’s paperwork to ensure that DHR’s work was done properly and competitively. It is now clear that something else is at play here and that maybe the bank president was not as forthcoming as he portrayed himself to be. A quick phone call to the local Home Builder’s Association (HBA) President confirmed their suspicions. The HBA is a local affiliate of the National Association of Home Builders
