DESCRIPTION:

One year after the death of Saeed Khan, the Chairman of PSGC, his four sons assessed the business and tried to formulate future strategies for organization and restructuring of the group's equity and management. The group comprised three companies, with a fourth in the early stages of implementation. The brothers had ambitious plans; they wanted to double the number of companies constituting the group in the next four to five years. This case traces the tumultuous history of the group, spanning many divisions and disagreements from the time of its inception as Service Industries Limited - a history the brothers were wary of and did not want repeated.
