Statman, Harris & Eyrich Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against SAIC, Inc. and Encourages Persons with Non-Public Information to Contact the Firm

Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) April 06, 2012

(SAIC or the Company) and certain of its officers and directors on behalf of purchasers of the common stock during the period April 11, 2007 and September 1, 2011, inclusive (the Class Period).

The action, filed by another firm in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Case No. 12-cv-01353), alleges defendants violated federal securities laws by misrepresenting or failing to disclose information relating to overbilling the city of New York hundreds of millions of dollars on a project to update the citys employee payroll system (the CityTime Project). Executives of the Company admitted in a conference call that the Company might be forced to take a deduction from earnings to reflect alleged overbilling on the CityTime Project from the financial results it released for the second quarter of 2012. The stock price dropped on this disclosure, damaging investors.

Investors who purchased SAIC common stock during the Class Period may have a claim against the Company and are encouraged to contact attorney Brian Giles at (513) 345-8181 or by e-mail to classaction(at)statmanharris(dot)com for further information about this matter without any obligation or cost to you. Additionally, persons with non-public knowledge relative to the allegations asserted are encouraged to contact the law firm. The whistleblower provisions in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Bill protect whistleblowers from employer retaliation and allow the SEC to reward those who provide information leading to a successful enforcement with up to 30 percent of the recovery.

During my past 24 years of telecommunications experiences, I have often wondered what the real agenda was of some corporate executives. A recent conversation with a former colleague revealed a belief that is widely accepted in his work environment but never openly talked about. This belief is that for some corporate executives, profits are not as important as maintaining the status quo. According to him, these leaders believe that the appearance of ‘being strong’ and ‘in control’ is more important than being responsible to the bottom line. If this is true, then it is one explanation for why one would observe day-to-day decision-making that results in poor company performance.

This was in part the response my former colleague shared with me after I presented the opportunity that my project mediation service provides for removing costly conflict from the work environment. He believes the corporate leaders in question thrive on conflict and use it to improve their position of power within the company structure. The perception is that conflict leads to blame, which triggers organizational restructuring, ultimately resulting in promotion opportunities. After receiving this insight, I decided to evaluate the cost of ‘appearing strong and in control’.

This simulation uses the Dana Measure of Financial Cost of Conflict tool, designed by Dr. Daniel Dana, author of Managing Differences and founder of Mediation Training Institute International.

The simulation is a realistic situation for one (1) project overseen by a corporate executive (Project Executive). The leaders involved in this project are a Project Manager, a Sr. Software Developer, an Operations Manager and an IT Manager. In addition there are two (2) Software Engineers working at the direction of the Sr. Software Developer. A Customer Service Representative, Installer, Specialist and Electronics Technician are all working at the direction of the Operations Manager. A Computer Technician is working at the direction of the IT Manager and an Administrative Assistant is working on behalf of the entire project team. There are a total of 13 people, including the Project Executive. The average compensation used in this simulation is from PayScale, Inc. under United States Telecommunications, updated July 18, 2008.

Assume that an unresolved conflict develops between the Sr. Software Developer and the Operations Manager one month after the project start. This conflict is allowed to persist for 2 months (10 weeks). The conflict is resolved when the Sr. Software Developer leaves the project. Upon leaving, the individual is frustrated and communicates that his skills have been requested on another project. The cost of this conflict as is as follows:

#1: Wasted time: $ 3,772#2: Opportunity cost of wasted time: $ 5,658#3: Lowered job motivation and productivity: $ 189#4: Lost performance due to conflict-related absenteeism: 0#5: Loss of investment in skilled employees: $ 193,866#6: Conflict-incited theft, sabotage, vandalism, and damage: $ 5,389#7: Restructuring around the problem: $ 10,778#8: Health costs: $ 450#9: Degraded decision quality: $ 112,090TOTAL COST of this conflict: $ 332,192This simulation assumes:
