Hi listmembers,

A colleague of mine has sent the following request for help in locating a

Any suggestions would be appreciated,

I suggest you look at the comprehensive case, "Replacements Ltd" by Lew
Brown and eight colleauges at UNC Greensboro, which appeared as the lead
case in _Case Research Journal_, vol 20, Issue 1 (2000).

Your colleague might want to examine the W. L. Gore & Associates Case by
Charles (Chuck) Manz and myself. You can find it in the McGraw-Hill/Primis
case bank and a number of strategic management case books.
