Bluestar's Acquisition of Adisseo (B) Case Solution And Analysis, HBR Case Study Solution & Analysis of Harvard Case Studies

This casescenario describes the post-M&An collaboration of the Adisseo of France in the year 2006 by Bluestar Group, the biggest subsidiary of ChemChina (which is a Fortune 500 firm) until 2013. Adisseo was mainly engaged in production of methionine, a feed additive, while China had no methionine generation and had predicated on its import for extended time period. After getting Adisseo, Bluestar began to incorporate Adisseo, alter its executives and sent executives and technical staff to study at Adisseo, expanded Adisseo's output capacity in France and Spain, advocated Adisseo in its M&A of the upstream companies in France, and so on. More notably, Adisseo and Bluestar collectively began a fresh methionine project in 2010, in Nanjing, China.

In the building of the Nanjing project, Bluestar reached a successful integration with Adisseo through communication with the trade union, organization structure replication, management system and institution transplantation and improvement, project team establishment, and fusion of organizational cultures. Also, in the years of the post-M&An integration, Bluestar and its parent company ChemChina realized outstanding updating and development. While Chinese methionine marketplace maintained growth momentum, Adisseo needed to consider the road of future development and was facing overcapacity of the entire sector.
