Reference: IMD-3-0649

The Quest Core Values case series follows Quest International, a unilever subsidiary, through the process it underwent to identify/determine its corporate philosophy. Following a period of extensive acquisitions and restructuring, the project begins in 1994 as yet another corporate task force, but by 1996 top management has formulated a sophisticated theory about the nature of work, work place complexity and the importance of communication in the organization. Issues such as knowledge management culture change and complexity are discussed.
