Competitive strategiesTopics on any board agenda
• Access to main markets which are outside Switzerland- Manufacturing at one place, export worldwide
- Split of value & supply chain: why, how?
- Protectionism today and tomorrow
• Which technologies for which markets
• What can we do better here than elsewhere? Why, how?
• What exactly means “better” – customers decide!
• For which technologies, products, applications is “Swiss made” the best solution? For which ones not?
