M., Master of Business Administration, English, This case study is about a company called Martinez Construction, a well-established construction company located in eastern Spain. The company was founded in the mid-1940s and has been in the hands of the Martinez family since then. Most probably the company was a small- to medium-sized enterprise (SME) with a limited amount of resources and capital operating in one country so far.
