Abstract

This case focuses on a decision the Sideco management team faces when customers of its newly acquired and privatized water and sewer company neglect to pay its bills. Describes the effort to transform an old-style Argentine construction and engineering company into a customer-focused manager of public services and infrastructure projects. A key theme is transforming the culture and values of the organization and its workforce.
