Report on Exchanges - INSEAD CALT

Benoit accepts the decision of his team members but is not willing to align. He resigns fromthe team and offers his services as external support and advice for the next episode…De : Benoit.Crochelet@gdfsuez.com [mailto:Benoit.Crochelet@gdfsuez.com]Envoyé : jeudi 20 juin 2013 18:42Leif Olav did not confirm his position but if we follow the democratic waythere is already a majority to vote for Bauer.I fully respect your decision but I have decided not to support it. I canaccept all kind of constraints but in the real life as for this exercise, Icannot compromise with values and ethical principles. In this case the timepressure and pure financial analysis should lead to a decision which Iconsider put in danger the future of the team. Should any assumptions aboutBauer will be proved we will lose our credibility, our fans, our crew and forwhat concerns me the self-respect. I can't assume that.Consequently I propose my resignation of the EagleRacing team. Finally it's anopportunity for me to launch my own business in Sponsorship Consultancy.After seeing episode 2, should you need any external support and advice, Iwould be honored to offer my services to your team.Nothing personal in this decision. I've really appreciated your commitment andtransparency and wish you all the best.Let's see what happens now.BenoîtPS It will be great to meet you in Fontainebleau…Vincent is confident that they will be able to transform their group into a team later…De : BERCOVICI Vincent [mailto:Vincent.BERCOVICI@galderma.com]Envoyé : jeudi 20 juin 2013 18:58By this time I guess we would have transformed this group into a team ! My commitment to you Benoitand to all. VincentLeif Olav also confirms his choice for Bauer…De : Saetenes, Leif Olav [mailto:Leif.Olav.Saetenes@CGG.com]Envoyé : jeudi 20 juin 2013 20:11Dear all,I see that the discussions have resultet in a sudden, but but perhaps not so unexpected turn.I will continue to stand by my decision to go for Bauer for the very reasons given in my previous email.Looking forward to seeing you.
