Abstract

Snow Brand Milk Products Co Ltd was the largest dairy products manufacturer in Japan while its subsidiary Snow Brand Food Co was one of the largest meat processing and food products manufacturers. In the 2000, for the first time since its establishment, Snow brand Milk Products Co Ltd posted group losses and had to close some of its dairy factories due to a massive decline in sales of milk products following a food poisoning incident. In 2002, Snow Brand Milk Products Co Ltd liquidated its subsidiary, Snow Brand Food Co Ltd, due to irreparable damage caused by the unethical practices at Snow Brand Food Co Ltd. The case examines the events that led to the decline of the company, and the consequences of unethical practices and lack of social responsibility.
