Now that we have covered all the basic frameworks, let's try one more mock interview:

Your client, the Duff Beer Company, is an independent$-$owned, small$-$town, crafts$-$brewing company $($also known as a microbrewery$)$ located in Manhattan, KS$.$ Based on sales in $2021,$ the Duff Beer Company continues to be the leading craft brewery in town, although competition in the area is steadily increasing. Recently, your company is thinking about manufacturing a green beer product $$ and no$,$ we don$$t mean the color green, but rather, a beer that focuses on sustainability.$$

The Duff Beer Company has hired you to help it decide what to do$.$ Is it a good idea to introduce green beer? What kinds of things would you think about to help the company make the decision? Walk us through how you would go about answering this case. Try to adopt one of the generic frameworks introduced this week.$$Be sure to discuss your suspected root cause $($what is the problem and what is causing it$)$ and your hypothesized solutions $($what you believe the company should do to address the root cause$).$
