This case describes the founding, development, and near demise of a manufacturing company whose products were highly regarded in the marketplace. Begun by immigrants, and based on their individual skills, the company grew from a small, privately heldoperation doing business only in the United States, to a publicly held company with operations in several foreign countries. The case illustrates the problems that can develop quickly when an organization does not have defined goals, effective management, and supporting information systems.
