Abstract

The chief executive officer (CEO) of Sandvik AB had sought to identify synergies in the six disparate businesses of the Sandvik Group (see Sandvik AB (A), case ''9A98M012''). The organizational changes undertaken in the pursuit of synergies are outlined, and acquisitions and divestitures are described. Students can evaluate the magnitude and appropriateness of the changes and propose other ideas. This case facilitates discussion as to how the CEO of a large, complex organization actually accomplishes strategic change.
