The case analyses its own knowledge management process following a series of acquisitions in 2010 and 2011 and Weg's internationalization strategy. The business, which harshly internationalized and then started out in the electric motor segment in Brazil, confronts new challenges in commercial and industrial automation, uninterrupted power supply systems and wind power.
A pressing issue is whether to maintain the present process for obtaining and disseminating knowledge in the surface of Weg's increasingly international scope and in the brand new segments where it functions. Case A presents Weg's opponents, a brief profile of the electric motor business and its own internationalization strategy, while Case B centers on information management, a vital success factor of internationalization.
