In the wake of the fraud conspiracy convictions of its former executives Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling, the name Enron will likely long be synonymous with corporate corruption. But how did it rise, to the point of being the sixth highest-value US orporation, before its precipitous 2001 fall? This case provides a glimpse of a key element of Enron in action, as well as illuminating the complex process of foreign direct investment in a developing economy. The case focuses specifically on the Enron Development Corporation, that arm of the complex web of Enron subsidiaries which sought to build and operate power facilities around the world, including Argentina, Guatemala, the Philippines, Colombia and China.

Shortly after the Microsoft Security Response Center found out about a security vulnerability in a part of their Internet server software, the Internet Information Server development team was brought in to find a solution. The team determined that a patch developed months before would fix the problem. They needed to notify the world's Internet users immediately to prevent them from being attacked by hackers. The team had to figure out how to keep the security vulnerability quiet, and then suddenly tell the whole world about it. This supplement to Microsoft Security Response Center (A) 9B01E019 extends the situation as new information surfaces about the vulnerability.

The program manager and his team at the Microsoft Security Response Center decide to keep the security vulnerability and its solution quiet over the weekend. They contact the Microsoft Premier Support Organization, which provides high level service to large companies, to get the solution to as many of their customers as possible, since large companies would be hackers' first targets. The bulletin was ready for release and as far as the program manager could tell, the problem had remained quiet. He had to decide whether to release the patch the following morning or wait until they could prepare the patch in many languages. This is a supplement to Microsoft Security Response Center (A) and (B), products 9B01E019 and 9B01E020.
