Case Study

CEMEX: A Model Multinational from an Unusual Place

Our discussion in the text stresses that multinationals succeed by using their firm-specific advantages throughout their global operations. We have also noted that most foreign direct investments are made by firms based in the industrialized countries. This is the story of CEMEX, a firm that rapidly has become multinational since 1990. The reasons for its multinational success fit very well with the advantages stressed in the eclectic approach. What makes the firm unusual is that it is based in Mexico. CEMEX is an example of a growing group of multinationals based in developing countries.

CEMEX began business in 1906. For most of its life this cement company focused on selling in the Mexican market. Cement is a product that is expensive to ship, especially overland, so cement plants ship mostly to customers within 300 miles of a plant. Shipment by water is moderately (but not prohibitively) expensive. Most cement producers in the 1980s were local producers with traditional business practices. New managers at CEMEX broke with tradition by introducing extensive use of automation, information technology, and a satellite-based communication network into CEMEX operations. They used the technology to improve quality control and to provide detailed information on production, sales, and distribution to top managers in real time. Delivery of ready-mix concrete is particularly challenging in cities. Traditionally, cement firms could ensure delivery only within a time period of about three hours. CEMEX pioneered the use of computers and a global positioning system to guarantee delivery to construction sites within a 20-minute window. These innovations became the company's firm-specific advantages.

Also in the 1980s CEMEX began to export more aggressively to the United States using sea transport, and it was increasingly successful. However, competing U.S. cement producers complained to the U.S. government, and in 1990 CEMEX exports to the United States were hit by a 58 percent antidumping duty. With exporting to the United States limited by the antidumping order, CEMEX looked for other foreign opportunities.

In 1991, it began exporting to Spain, and in 1992 it made its first foreign direct investment by acquiring two Spanish cement producers. CEMEX minimized its inherent disadvantages by investing first in a foreign country with the same language as the firm's home country and a similar culture. In addition, CEMEX used its expansion into Europe as a competitive response to the previous move by the Swiss-based firm Holcim into the Mexican cement industry.

The management team sent by CEMEX to reorganize the acquired companies was amazed to find companies that kept handwritten records and used almost no personal computers. They upgraded the Spanish affiliates to CEMEX technology and management practices. The improvement in affiliate operations from this internal transfer of CEMEX's intangible assets was remarkable—profit margins improved from 7 percent to 24 percent in two years.

Since then, CEMEX has made a series of foreign direct investments by acquiring cement producers in Latin America (including Venezuela, Panama, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Costa Rica), the United States, Britain, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Egypt. CEMEX used the same type of process that it used in Spain to bring its technology and management practices into its new foreign affiliates, and generally achieved similarly impressive improvements in performance.

By 2000, CEMEX was the third largest cement producer in the world, behind Lafarge of France and Holcim. More than 60 percent of its physical assets were in its foreign affiliates. It was also the largest exporter of cement in the world (a fact consistent with the proposition discussed in the text that FDI and trade are often complementary). CEMEX is considered one of the best networked companies globally by computer industry experts, well ahead of its rivals. Its investments in developing and enhancing its firm-specific advantages have been paying off globally.

CEMEX is a great example of a domestic firm becoming a multi-national giant by a clever interplay of technology, foreign direct investment and innovation. Please spell out the experience of another company in a different industry that had similar success. For all of his success, what can Cemex learn from your company?

Article: The effect of unit-based simulation on nurse’s identification of deteriorating patient.

In today’s nursing practice environment, nurses are faced with patients with multiple, complex conditions that can change rapidly leading to an acute patient deterioration (APD) event (Bright, Walker, & Bion, 2004). Patients often exhibit early warning signs before APD events (Fuhrmann, Lippert, Perner, & Ostergard, 2008; Kause et al., 2004), but research supports that early warning signs are not always identified by healthcare providers and/or, if identified, are not addressed in an appropriate time frame. Multiple factors have been cited as reasons for failure to recognize and respond appropriately to APD events including lack of knowledge and skills, lack of confidence to handle APD events, not monitoring vital signs (VS) routinely, failure to seek assistance, communication failures, and confusion regarding role responsibilities (National Patient Safety Agency, 2007).  

As the acuity of patients increases, it becomes imperative that registered nurses (RNs) perform frequent assessments and intervene appropriately when patients’ conditions be- gan to deteriorate (Cooper et al., 2010). These interventions include providing appropriate care to stop the deterioration such as consultation with advanced practice nurses and/or physicians, ensuring/evaluating that the health plan is being implemented, and/or determining if transfer to critical care areas for higher level nursing care is required. The use of simulation as a teaching method assists nurses to improve their assessment skills and response to patient decline in a timely and knowledgeable manner (Cooper et al., 2010). The purpose of this pilot research study was to examine the effects of a unit-based, high-fidelity simulation initiative on cardiovascular step-down unit RNs’ identification and management of deteriorating patients.

We are to make a program about a car dealership using arrays. I got the code to display all cars in a list, so I'm good with that. What I'm stuck at is how to make it so when a user inputs x for search, it allows them to search the vehicle. We need two classes, one that shows the car information and another that shows the insert, search, delete, display methods. Here is what I have so far

package a1chrisd;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Car {

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    String color;
    String model;
    String year;
    String company;
    String plate;

    public Car(String color, String model, String year, String company, String plate) {
        this.color = color;
        this.model = model;
        this.year = year;
        this.company = company;
        this.plate = plate;
    }


   public void introduceSelf() {
       System.out.println("This is a" + " " + this.color + " " + this.year + " " + this.company + " " + this.model + " with plate " + this.plate);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args){
         String arrModel[] = {"Corolla", "Mustang", "Cavalier", "LaSabre", "Civic",
                             "Accord", "Avalon", "Escalade", "XTS", "A220", "Crown Victoria"}; // Car models
       String arrPlate[] = {"11111", "22222", "33333", "44444", "55555",
                              "66666", "77777", "88888", "99999", "00000"}; // car plates
         String arrCompany[] = {"Toyota", "Ford", "Cheverolet", "Buick", "Honda",
                                "Honda", "Toyota", "Cadillac", "Cadillac", "Mercedes Benz", "Ford"}; // car company
         String arrColor[] = {"Red", "White", "White", "Green", "Black",
                               "Green", "Blue", "Black", "Orange", "Brown", "Blue"}; // car color
        String arrYear[] = {"2015", "2019", "1987", "2020", "2020",
                                "2001", "2004", "2016", "2010", "1991"}; // car year
                      
      
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
   int carsInserted = 0;
           Car arrCar[] = new Car[50];
           for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
               Car c = new Car(arrColor[i], arrYear[i], arrCompany[i], arrModel[i], arrPlate[i]);
               arrCar[i] = c;
           }
           
            for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
                arrCar[i].introduceSelf();
            }
    }
