| 14220. ARMCO STEEL CORPORATION CASE STUDY. This paper provides a case solution and analysis of a crisis management case study on Armco Steel. Armco Steel Corporation, a multinational company and America’s third largest steel manufacturer, is at risk for losing the production capacity of one of its most important coke plants. Armco’s request to the EPA for a variance to operate its New Miami plant beyond the July 1, 1975 deadline established by the federal Clean Air Act of 1970 has been denied. This case study is analyzed from the perspective of John Barker, the company’s director of Environmental Engineering. Three potential alternative responses (shut down the coke plant, fight the EPA in court, or apply for another variance and build a new plant) are identified and analyzed. It is recommended that Armco build a new plant designed to meet the new air quality standards.
