Competitive response consulting case interview: Food dye regulations (w/ BCG Consultants)

🎥 Here’s a consulting case interview focused on the impact of regulations on manufacturers, featuring ex-BCG Consultants.

Cargill, a global supplier of food colorants, is responding to a shift in consumer and regulatory sentiment. Synthetic dyes are losing favor, while demand for natural, plant-based alternatives is growing. Your firm has been hired to help Cargill make two critical decisions:

1️⃣ Should they discontinue their synthetic dye line entirely and pivot to natural dyes?
2️⃣ If so, where should they consolidate production: China, Mexico, Ireland, or the U.S.?

Watch Matthew Calvert (ex-BCG Consultant, Fuqua MBA) run Christopher MacRae Ham (ex-BCG Consultant) through this competitive response focused consulting case interview.
