Jean Beierlein, president and CEO of Central
\nTransport, has just met with Susan Weber, the current president and CEO of SAB
\nDistribution. Jean was promoted from COO at Central Transport to CEO. Her
\npredecessor had worked closely with the former CEO of SAB Distribution when SAB
\ntransformed its operations about 10 years earlier to respond to changes in its
\ncompetitive marketplace. Now, Ms. Weber is faced with new challenges and wants
\nthe collaboration of Jean and Central Transport to transform again.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Susan has met extensively with the old and new members
\nof her executive team (several old timers left the organization when Susan had
\nannounced her planned changes) and has developed a tentative plan for modifying
\nthe strategic direction of SAB. Susan is convinced that SAB can attract some
\nlarger retailers in the mid- Atlantic states if it changes its business model
\nto add services similar to third-party logistics companies, namely,
\nwarehousing, transportation delivery, and inventory management. However, Susan
\nfeels that she needs a major collaborator with experience in these areas. She
\nalso feels that it would be better if the collaborator is a company SAB has
\nworked with previously on a successful basis and that is willing to take on
\nsome new challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Susan has decided to approach Wegman\u2019s Food Markets,
\nInc. as a customer for these new services. Wegman\u2019s is a very successful
\ncompany in the Northeast that is privately owned and has expanded carefully
\ninto new market areas over the last 15 years. It offers more value services to
\nits customers, including an in- store bakery, a restaurant and deli, more take
\n– out options, and in – store cooking demonstrations. Wegman\u2019s primary
\ndistribution point for its stores is located in a distribution park in Rochester,
\nNew York, near its corporate headquarters. With its store expansion into the
\nWashington, D.C., area and points further south into Virginia, Wegman\u2019s is
\ndeveloping a new distribution park in Northwestern Pennsylvania to lower its
\ncost and improve its service. With the state of the economy, Wegman\u2019s is
\nfeeling the pressure to be more competitive on a price basis. Susan is also
\nconvinced that Wegman\u2019s has to be price competitive to continue to grow in-
\nstore sales and expand its market opportunities. She feels that Wegman\u2019s will
\nlisten to her proposal to offer expanded services to help it be more
\ncompetitive. Now, she wants Central to join with SAB in making Wegman\u2019s a
\nproposal. Jean wants your help in developing a positive response to Susan.<\/span><\/p>\n
