Designed as an overview of all aspects of the strategy process: industry analysis, positioning, dynamics and sustainability, and scope issues of corporate strategy, including vertical integration, horizontal diversification, and location issues.

Contains detailed exhibits, allowing deeper analyses. A rewritten version of an earlier case.
