KSB (PAKISTAN)

Abstract

This case depicts the Managing Director's attempts at getting permission to produce more sophisticated castings in the foundry that would save foreign exchange for the country. He also tried to stop the government from over- sanctioning production in a market that already had the capacity to meet demand. The case is a good illustration of the effects of government intervention and interaction with the business sector. This case was primarily written for the Business-Government Relations module, LUMS NO.: 16-003-87-1. It may be used in a marketing module as a representative of difficulties faced by local manufacturers.
