Abstract:
				
	
		| 
 During the 1990s, Cemex of Mexico went from being a purely 
domestic producer to the third largest firm in the global cement industry. It 
did this through a combination of internal growth and global acquisitions. Cemex 
has maintained a higher level of profitability than other, longer-established 
majors. The case examines the rationale and logic behind internationalisation in 
a commodity business and the selection of markets to enter. The case 
demonstrates how a company can use information technology pro-actively to add 
value and achieve differentiation in a commodity business. Another point of 
emphasis in the case is the crucial role played by knowledge sharing in a global 
corporation with operations all over the world.
