Abstract. The case deals with a dilemma the Italian family firm AFG faced after making a significant investment to grow its business. AFG had been a successful commercial dealer of food packaging plastics, but under increased competition and squeezed margins, it bought a defective and underperforming extrusion plant to become a manufacturer of plastic packaging for the food industry. AFG had three alternative future plans, each with different consequences and risks for the family, as well as the business.
