The case was designed in cooperation with PPG. However, where necessary proprietary information has been safeguarded by changing information. This case is not to be considered a literal representation or interpretation of PPG nor its constituents’ interests, therefore, this case should not be used for research purposes.

For the last 12 months Jeff, Kristen and various other PPG colleagues have been meeting to identify strategies for staffing the expanding presence of the retail stores in the East Zone, especially in the Pittsburgh area—the home to PPG Global HQ.
