- Synopsis
- In 1984, the SEC accused Paul Thayer and eight others of insider trading. Some of Thayer's inside information came from his position on the board of Anheuser-Busch, where he had learned about Busch's 1982 merger with Campbell Taggart before the merger was publicly announced. The case deals with Busch's reaction after learning about the SEC suit. In considering possible actions by Busch, students may explore the workings of capital markets and attempt to estimate the amount of financial damage done to Busch by the insider trading. Other issues involve ethics, the allocation of management resources on costly legal battles, and the differing objectives of board members and managers.
