Challenger Disaster: Space Shuttle Challenger Case Response
For this response, consider the Space Shuttle Challenger case and address the following questions:
1.What factors do you think weighed most heavily in Morton-Thiokol's decision to okay the Challenger launch?
2.Did Morton-Thiokol use a Stockholder or a Stakeholder model when they made the decision?
3.What decision would you have made if you were a Morton-Thiokol manager in this situation?
4.Is there anything that Roger Boisjoly could have done differently in his circumstances?
5.Should he have been more loyal to his company when he was questioned by the Rogers Commission?
If you're tempted to say that he should have kept his mouth shut in order to protect Morton-Thiokol's reputation, you'll need to explain why their reputation deserves to be protected.
If you think that they have some right to protect themselves from Boisjoly's whistle-blowing (maybe by firing him) then you'll need to explain why they have a right to protect themselves from someone who is telling the truth (which is often a good thing to do)

The launch of the Challenger was as a result of a combination of various factors which all added up to much push from various quarters. The company in charge of the launch at Morton Thiokol Inc. considered other factors other than the overall safety of the entire mission. They first of all considered the future benefits of a continued business pact with NASA. This was going to be a test of their competence, which NASA would check through their lenses as a yardstick to approve future partnership with them. They therefore felt it would be a score if they launched it. Secondly, there was the pressure from the media and all the other stakeholders to launch considering that this was among the first lunches by NASA.
