The new president of an old, established company is facing a problem. The
company is currently unprofitable and is, in the presidents opinion, operating
inefficiently. The company sells a wide line of equipment and supplies to the
dairy industry. Some items it manufactures, and many it wholesales to dairies,
creameries, and similar plants. Because the industry is changing in several ways,
survival will be more difficult in the future. In particular, many equipment
companies are bypassing the wholesalers and selling directly to diaries.

In

addition, many of the independent dairies are being taken over by large food
chains. How might research help the new president make the right decisions? In
answering this question, consider the areas of marketing and finance as well as
the whole company.
