Abstract

A Master Brewer is facing serious operating problems in the malthouse at the Dragon Brewing Company in China. These problems are affecting the quality of beer and endangering the health and safety of employees. He is considering three investment alternatives and is concerned not only about the financial implications but also the organizational implications and the ''politics'' of his recommendation. There is a simplified Chinese version available ''9A98DC07''. There is a Taiwan-Traditional Chinese version available ''9A98DT07''.
