This paper presents an analysis and case solution to a classic Harvard Business School case study of Southland Corporation, parent company of the 7-11 convenience store chain. It is argued that Southland's management must assess their current strategy and perhaps formulate a new strategy which will better address future market and environmental needs. Includes problem identification; an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of Southland’s existing strategy and operations against the perspective of a changing marketing environment; identification and discussion of potential alternative strategies; and recommendations (with implementation plan) on the adoption of a new strategic direction.
