MAN B&W Diesel A/S - Managing Licensees in a Globalized World
內容大綱
MAN B&W Diesel (MBD), a subsidiary of MAN AG, had become very successful by having its large two-stroke diesel engines produced under licence in Asia. The success had led it to a position as world leader in ship engines, with world market shares oscillating between 70 and 80 per cent. The relationship between MBD and the licensees was characterized by both parties leveraging each other's competencies. It was critical for MBD to access new knowledge in order to optimize products from the producing licensees. Similarly, the licensees leveraged the access to the design specifications of the engines as well as expert knowledge and service offerings from MBD. Despite MBD's success with the licence business model during the last years, recent developments had sparked some concerns of the model's long-term sustainability and feasibility. Hence, the main challenge facing MBD was how to future-proof and perhaps adjust its business model to secure more control of critical knowledge and the licensees without jeopardizing the productive and lucrative licensee relationships.
