Case study: AngloAmerican and HIV/AIDS

This case was selected for two reasons; first, because prima facie it allows detailed examination of how a GUF acted as a major and indeed indispensable partner for an MNC. The MNC followed a conscious partnership strategy with the GUF at the latter's initiative, a path that differed radically from that taken by its competitors. Second, unusually high-quality longitudinal information was obtained through the long-term involvement of one of the authors, supplemented by unusually extensive project reports, company and union documentation.
