While I’ve been criminally quiet around here lately, two of my colleagues (one a coauthor, one my PhD Student) have been busy penning a mighty fine teaching case about the Aussie endeavours of German supermarket giant Aldi.

I was keen to read, having been suspicious of ALDI at the outset, but put right by this very blog. Namely that suppliers/producers like them because they buy a large defined amount of product and then don’t pressure for discounts and shelf placement…blah blah blah…
But heartbreakingly, the link goes nowhere, a bit of a snoop suggests the http://www.ecch.com domain has been unregistered or some such.
