Troubles at Tesco, 2012
To maximize their effectiveness, color cases should be printed in color. It was October 3rd, 2012, and all was not well at Tesco, the UK's largest supermarket chain with revenues of 64.5 billion ($104 billion).

What did Clarke need to do to restore confidence and get Tesco back on track?
