Jonah Creighton Case

After reading Jonah Creighton case, I personally felt that Jonah did not use a proper way to bring this potential discrimination up. He set a meeting with Gordon instead of meeting with Diane Ford, because she was the one who was in charge with contacting international units. Moreover, he also went up to talk to Garret, director of stratefic planning and the highest ranking black person in the company, and was satisfied with his reply and support. In my opinion, I think he should contact the managers or directors of British unit directly instead of sitting there and trying to ask someone in the company. He also think that he wanted to find our what Coulding-Henson's competitors were doing in regard to minority placement, because he could then have ideas of competitors would do if the company does not hire Martin Bank. For example, the competitors might asked Martin Bank to work for their companies if we did not hire him, and if he actually had a good ability, then we might lose profits and let our competitors took this opportunity and helped them to gain thier profits. These were just few questions that came to my mind after I read though the case, but I also comment few ways on solving the problems
