Abstract
The case describes an organisation which is under intense competitive pressure, but is lacking the information systems necessary to meet the competition. The material was designed to integrate a variety of disciplines that are typically taught independently but in reality are interdependent. This addresses a common complaint from students, especially first year MBA students, that the courses seem disjointed with little or no integration. The primary objective of the case is to provide a vehicle for integrating concepts from Management Information Systems, Accounting, Production Control, Marketing and Human Relations.
