Siam Cement Group,The: Corporate Philosophy (A)
By: Lynn S. Paine and Prompilai Khunaphante
Abstract
In the face of Thailand's 1990 cement shortage, managers at Siam Cement Co., Thailand's largest cement provider, must decide how to allocate available supply and whether to attempt to uphold government-controlled prices among the company's agents. At issue is the overall design of a rationing system as well as how to handle several special requests.
