The Trials and Tribulations of MPH Inc.
Robert Maxwell is the founder owner of MPH Inc., a sub contract manufacturer. He is 67 years old, and the business has taken a turn for the worse over the past couple of years. Losses are mounting since clients have started moving business off shore to Chinese SCMs, who have much lower costs than the US SCMs (including MPH). In light of these developments, Robert is at a crucial juncture, he has to decide whether to keep the business running, close it down, merge/be acquired by a competitor, innovate on the business model or do something else.
