DMR 03/2008 - Complexity
One of the main causes of the problems facing managers today is ever-increasing complexity. New challenges are constantly turning up, and each demands a flexible reaction – it is no surprise that things sometimes feel out of control! This is particularly true when a company is growing rapidly internally or due to acquisitions, when vendors and customers are to be integrated into fragmented value chains, or when the market dynamics are forcing innovative products onto the market in decreasing time-to-market cycles. But each new technology, every new IT architecture, and each additional end user device also increases the complexity that the company has – somehow - to deal with. Patent recipes don’t help very much. It is much more a case of comparing causes and symptoms with the company’s own requirements and finding an individual way of using the complexity to gain an advantage. For complexity is not in itself a bad thing – representing as it does a wide range of options.

And how can the German automotive suppliers industry grow? In addition to contemplating these questions we take a look at the way in which companies can orientate their processes towards growth, and investigate innovations which look promising in the quest to support growth.
