Description for case is given below :
This three-part case highlights the strategic decision-making and growth management challenges in the suddenly liberalized Kenyan dairy industry. Following the collapse of the nation-wide distribution system on which small-scale dairy farmers in Kenya relied to reach the market, the resulting gap in the value chain between supply and demand created an opportunity for one entrepreneur. Cool Pastures Dairy was founded and rapidly expanded in an atmosphere not only of little competition but also corruption and lack of infrastructure, especially poor roads, limited banking and almost non-existent cell phone accessibility. Although the company considered various alternatives to expanding, the business was overcome by problems with inefficient or corrupt retailers and accountants, as well as the owner’s lack of business experience, and went bankrupt. When conditions improved as the government invested in infrastructure, the entrepreneur considered restarting his business. Is this a viable enterprise in light of improved conditions? Which expansion alternative should the resuscitated company pursue?

Description for case is given below :
In late summer of 2008, a tainted milk scandal unfolded in China and shocked the world. Lethally high levels of melamine were detected in infant formula being sold on the market. Sanlu Group Inc. (Sanlu), the core firm in the scandal, had manufactured a product containing melamine that was 5,125 times higher than the European Union (EU) safety units. The scandal swept through the Chinese dairy industry and all over the world where Chinese dairy products were recalled and banned. By December 2008, the official records indicated over 290,000 infants were sickened, 51,900 were hospitalized, and 11 deaths were suspected and three confirmed. Two managers of Sanlu’s raw milk suppliers were sentenced to death and four of Sanlu’s executive team (including the chief executive officer and chairwoman) were sentenced to varying jail terms. By analyzing the lead-up and background to the scandal, the global reactions to the crisis, the Chinese political climate and the resulting social and cultural transformations, can it be determined what could – and should – be done to prevent similar incidents of food and product safety issues in the future?
