The Legos main expectations were:
A
1. The rapid cost cuttings so as to overcome the largest internal financial crisis in the history of company.
2. The problems of product development and distribution would be sorted out.
3. To reduce the production complexity by attracting large sub contractors.
However, the deal was not successful and Lego learnt that
1. Outsourced facilities are always not effective and satisfactory.
2. The outsourcing only is not the solution to control and coordinate the increasingly global and complex network of production facilities
3. The company is more special than it expected to be
What are the key challenges in maintaining a relationship like the one between LEGO and
