The CEO of Ford Motor Co saw no reason why the company should spend
additional money for high-temp solid-state components in Ford's
ignition system since there had only been a few dozen fatal accidents
caused by engine stalling on hot days. When the story got into
newspapers, Ford's CEO was given his walking papers. Those who don't
see the term: corporate ethics as an oxymoron need to take a look at
Ken Lay's Enron.
