Abstract

This is the first of a two-case series. Danfoss is one of Denmark's largest family firms, producing components for a wide range of industrial control activity. Spanning the period 1996- 2004, the case begins by looking at Danfoss' globalisation strategy, then focuses on its specific experience and learning in China, before returning to the wider challenges that globalisation in China poses for Danfoss as a whole. The focus is on the refrigeration and controls (RC) division, the key Danfoss division to enter China.
