Abstract

Mediterranean Textile Company: Negotiating for the Release of Hostages is a unique case study that touches upon multiple dimensions of the operations of a multinational corporation in foreign countries. The case is structured around a specific issue of negotiating for the release of hostages in the wake of political and economic turmoil during Tahrir Square Revolution 2011 in Egypt. The CEO of Mediterranean Textile Company (MTC), Mr Usman Khan, finds himself perplexed and confused about how to resolve the conflict in his company that had been divided into two factions due to the political crisis. Some managers, mostly Pakistani expatriates, were being kept as hostages by the Egyptian workers who were asking for more lucrative salaries and working terms. How Usman would handle this situation and negotiate with the union representatives will be consequential for MTC.
