Abstract
After thirty-nine years in business Con Roux Construction (CRC) finally collapsed in 2004. Over a period of a dozen years this company had been tracked through a series of IESE case studies. The period covered was the first decade of the transition from the white rule apartheid years to the black rule ANC government. For a medium-sized family-owned business the decade proved to be particularly difficult. This particular case deals with the final chapter (liquidation) of the business and the reflections of senior management on what had come to pass
