The case analyses its particular knowledge management procedure following a number of acquisitions in 2010 and 2011 and Weg's internationalization strategy. The firm, which aggressively internationalized and then started out in the electric motor segment in Brazil, faces new challenges in wind power, uninterrupted power supply systems and industrial and commercial automation.
A pressing dilemma is whether to maintain the present process for disseminating and obtaining knowledge in the face of the increasingly global extent of Weg and in the new segments where it functions. Case A presents its internationalization strategy, while Case B focuses on knowledge management, a key success factor of internationalization, Weg's adversaries and a simple profile of the electric motor business.
