Case Abstract

This case traces the development of the organic juice company Phoenix Organic from a bathtub operation producing ginger fizz to a sustainable and successful juice company achieving market dominance in Australia. Business decisions facing these entrepreneurs include selecting strategies to penetrate cafes; whether to approach supermarkets; how to sustain suppliers of organic products; whether to use glass versus plastic for bottling; and export versus domestic expansion. The business is committed to practices of social and environmental responsibility and all decisions are made to promote the double bottom line business growth and commitment to improving society and the environment with a quality product and clean production operations.
