Abstract
Examines a major capacity expansion proposal of Chaparral Steel, a steel minimill. Gives students the opportunity to evaluate the proposed expansion in the context of the competitive environment, market demand, technological choice, and the demands of a global industry. Also challenges them to analyze the proposal's implications for manufacturing strategy, technological innovation, market share, and company finances.
