Abstract
A successful executive at a US wholesaler has resigned his position to pursue an MBA. Shortly after beginning the program, he is contacted by a former business associate, the owner of a family-owned wholesale distribution company who asks for help in turning around the company where sales have fallen dramatically and which is close to insolvency. Although the former executive is interested in the challenge, he needs to consider the feasibility of salvaging the company. If it is possible and he accepts the assignment, he must decide how to define his role in the company, his relationship to the family. On a personal level, he needs to decide whether to interrupt his studies to advise at a family-owned business. The supplement, ''Manchester Wholesale Distributors (B)'', (9B02M019) explores strategies, actions and successes in leading change at the failing company.
