Résumé
* Top Case Study Prize in International Management Atlas-AFMI 2016
Atlas-AFMI Label "recommended of pedagogical interest"
Schneider Electric (SE) is typical of a traditional French industry: this family business was started at the end of the 19th century and became a renowned and internationally successful multinational company, a world leader in most of the fields dealing with electric power's use and distribution. Its success has been built mainly on its international presence, partnerships, and acquisitions in more than 200 countries. One cannot succeed in such international development without being a powerful and intelligent organization.
This case is a sequential and modular type of case study, and, depending on the objectives of the training and level of the participants, different aspects of international organizations' strategies and management are studied. The thematic questions proposed at the end of the case can be selected and treated independently.
The main issue of this case is to describe the consequences of the tension between adaptation and standardization from an HQ (Headquarters) point of view as well as from an abroad subsidiary's point of view, Schneider Electric Russia.
