In the aftermath of a flip flop factory fire in the Philippines that killed 72, injured dozens and left a dozen more missing, Kentex Operations Manager Terrence Ong is lying in his hospital bed with third degree burns, wondering what he can do to solve the crisis. Among the dead was his son. Ong stood at a crossroads. A good decision would move Kentex toward a viable future. But a wrong move would damage the reputation, morale, and trust of the affected parties.
