Case protagonists have to evaluate whether these solutions are enough to satisfy these needs and how to make them as effective as possible. Schneider Electric competes in tough but stable markets around energy management, automation, and control of infrastructures ranging from homes to production plants.

To take advantage of these changes, the company has been experimenting with different organizational structures to take advantage of these radical innovations. The case describes the challenges facing the company as well as the latest iteration of structures and systems.
