Abstract:
|
The case examines the various challenges that the Charoen Pokphand Group (CP), Thailand's leading agri-business conglomerate, had to face during the period 1997-2004. It details the growth of CP from a small seed shop in 1929 into one of the largest companies in Thailand by the turn of 20th century. The case discusses the problems CP faced due to the 1997 Asian financial crisis and growing competition to its businesses in the domestic and international markets. Thereafter, it examines the restructuring efforts of the group - in terms of asset sales, focus on core businesses (food and agribusiness, telecommunications and retailing), debt management reforms, focus on corporate transparency and cost reduction - to tide over the crisis.

Finally, it examines the future prospects of CP in the light of the bird flu epidemic of 2003, and various other problems on the operational and strategic fronts.
