Abstract

This case study is on an organization which is engaged in spreading libraries. The reading habits have fallen down substantially due to rise in e-content. The libraries which were the source of transforming ideas earlier, are all abandoned. Can an organization survive in such a difficult conditions. Should the organization change its strategy? How should an organization try to achieve the objective, which is very difficult to achieve in the present day context. This case study describes the overall working of this social development organization and presents options for its revival. The original case study is written in 2006. The present day situation has been added in this case study and the questions remain the same.
