Profit or growth: what to focus on? The Fleury case

Abstract

This teaching case reflects the strategic choices of the Fleury Group in the face of the Brazilian economic scenario and the particularities of the private health services sector in Brazil. The teaching case invites the reader to reflect on challenges related to a strategic orientation for profitability, growth, or both. The Fleury Group serves as a rich source of information for academic analysis, especially about business strategy and organizational ambidexterity. Thus, this teaching case can be used in executive programs and graduate programs (specialization or leading to a Ph.D.), in themes related to strategy and innovation.
