Chapter 11 in Business Driven Action Learning, 2000, pp 134-139 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract SCANCEM is one of the leading cement and building materials companies in the world with over 10000 employees, active in 35 countries, and with its headquarters in Malmo, Sweden. Scancem has major operations in many parts of the world but in 1997 the board was considering and interested in expanding its activities in a new emerging market region. Before doing so in a significant way, it was decided to utilize its annual action learning programme for high potentials and then its Senior Management Seminars to access the past experiences that Scancem had in emerging markets. At the same time they were to address the issue as to whether or not the company had developed the right competencies to work well in new emerging markets, especially in South East Asia.
