- Summary:
- This case examines a privately owned Egyptian enterprise, Mimo, that specializes in plastic manufacturing and packaging. Originally founded by Samer, the family business was inherited by his son, Essam, following an agreement with Essam's sister, Yosra. In operating the enterprise, Essam encountered several challenges, primarily due to the Mimo legal structure, which was a sole proprietorship. Challenges included the absence of a well-structured governance system and internal pressures from high operational costs. Additionally, with no formal succession plan in place, the transition of leadership to one of Essam's three sons presents a significant challenge for the future of the business. Beyond succession issues, the company faces external pressures as global markets increasingly prioritize environmentally sustainable alternatives over plastic products. This shift threatens the long-term viability of Mimo. This case explores the dynamics of Essam's family, their values, and the challenges they face. Additionally, it analyzes key aspects of the business, including major obstacles, market conditions, and industry trends. Students will be asked to solve business challenges related to decision making and analyze the internal and external environments that might affect company business performance.
