Case Questions
1. What was happening to the packaging industry at the time of the case? How will
these changes impact Sonoco’s strategy?
2. What were Cindy Hartley’s objectives for changes at Sonoco?
3. How successful were the HR changes at Sonoco? Was the sequence of changes
the right one?
4. What is the right HR structure for Sonoco – centralization or hybrid? Why?
Evaluate different options (pros and cons) and justify your choice of option.
5. Will the changes be sustained? And what would you do if you were advising Cindy
