The Downfall of Chattanooga Ice Cream 2
Abstract
In this paper I will do an analysis on what I think cause the downfall of Chattanooga Ice Cream. I will also give and observation of the Chattanooga Ice Cream Division and how lack of respect and communication caused them to lose one of their biggest clients. I assay Charlie Moore's leadership style. I will see how things could have been handled differently, if they would have applied teamwork and good leadership to the equation.
