Professor David J. Arnold and Carin-Isabel Knoop, Executive Director, Global Research Group, prepared this case as the basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of an administrative situation. This case contains information from two supplements, Hewlett-Packard’s Home Products Division in Europe (C): Lessons from Europe, HBS case no. 399-060 and Hewlett-Packard’s Home Products Division in Europe (D): The Matrix Model, HBS case no. 500-063. The two supplements can be used instead of the case.
