As the previous day, we headed up to Tianjin outside Beijing to visit Danish industrial giant Danfoss’s main China facilities. Frequent readers of my blog will remember that Danfoss was the case company of the CBS Case Competition 2006, which gives it a special place in my heart. And it was amazing to travel thousands of kilometres across the globe to see that the buildings Danfoss has in Beijing, look just like the ones in Denmark. On the other hand, and equally inspiring, was how the structure of the organisation had been adapted to Chinese norms.

I also got a copy of the case, I'm very impressed. Perhaps I'll join when I'm older and wiser and further into my programme. /LMH I already watched the finals… very interesting!

No--we didn't pick Danfoss because of our common origin :-)--we picked it because we found the company to be a very good partner, who was willing to work together with us for a period of 8 months. It took a lot of effort on our part as well as theirs, so it was more a match of interests than anything else that led to our working together. Bjorn Lise,

You can watch the finals at http://www.casecompetition.com if you’re still interested.

It looks so interesting; I wish I could have made it to see all the finals. Did you pick Danfoss because you are from Sønderjylland? /LMH Nice case!
