Product Details

This series of cases focuses on Malden Mills' strategy for rebuilding its Lawrence, Massachusetts, plants following a catastrophic fire in 1995. Through an analysis of the history of the Feuerstein family's successful management style in the supposedly dying New England textile industry, the case illuminates a unique and consistent corporate identity based on ethics, public relations, and iron-willed determination. See also the A, B, and C cases (E-0125, E-0126, and E-0127).
