Abstract
Shorko Films SA is a plastic film manufacturing business in France, owned by Courtaulds PLC. It is faced with closure, but a new management team embarks on a survival plan. Investment in IT and building an ''informated'' organisation is their chosen route. A distributed process control system becomes the enabler of strategic change. The case is illustrative of both the potential of technological change and the management processes involved.
