    This document discusses the globalization strategy of CEMEX, a Mexican cement company, compared to its main global competitor Holderbank. Some key points: - Global expansion allowed CEMEX to increase production/sales volumes and grow beyond its relatively small domestic Mexican market, helping it compete against Holderbank's large international presence. - CEMEX aimed to reduce costs through acquiring local companies and restructuring, though its per-ton operating costs were similar to Holderbank's. Efficient post-acquisition integration helped reduce costs. - CEMEX differentiated itself by targeting emerging markets for growth, pursuing strategic acquisitions, and optimizing its geographic footprint - unlike Holderbank's focus mainly on cement.

    drugs in the United States. Thus proving how much the 1980s was an era of both turmoil

    Soon the Arms for Hostages divided the Reagan administration, although the plan
    went into effect as Reagan supported the plan. After the sale of over 1,500 missiles
    went to the Iranian government, only three hostages were released from Lebanon and
    soon three more were put into the same place was the previous hostages (PBS). Soon
    after the Lebanese newspaper released the news of the affair to the public in 1986,
    fourteen members of the Reagan administration were tried and eleven were

    A continuación se realiza un análisis de las actividades de valor específicamente
    relacionadas con la estrategia global de Cemex frente a Holderbank, agrupándolas en los
    elementos de valor y evaluándolas por sus efectos, para detectar los recursos, habilidades
    y competencias distintivas que constituyen su fuente de ventaja competitiva y corporativa.
    Aumentar el volumen de producción y venta, y crecimiento: Cemex tenía necesidad de
    expandirse globalmente, dado que su mercado doméstico en México es relativamente
    pequeño y que en 1989, la empresa ya dominaba 2/3 de la capacidad productiva donde le
    quedaba poco espacio para crecer . Además, la entrada de Holderbank en México al
    principio de los 90`s le generaba una fuerte presión competitiva, siendo que esa empresa
    ya tenía una presencia global importante.
    Reducir los costos: a) Costos operativos: Cemex adquiere empresas con gran
    participación de capacidad local y mediante la reestructuración baja su estructura de
    costo. Sin embargo, al calcular los costos operativos por tonelada de cemento según
    los datos de Exhibit 4, se da que Cemex y Holderbank tenían un nivel casi igual de costo
    de $78 por tonelada ; b) La empresa maneja un Proceso de Integración Postadquisición
