Future Prospects | <strong>50</strong> <strong>Year</strong>s of R&M | 2014<br />
39<br />
Fit for the Future:<br />
Increased<br />
Growth Abroad<br />
and Closer Focus<br />
on Customers<br />
R&M is already one of the top three players in the<br />
target markets, but won’t settle for that. CEO Michel Riva<br />
talks about future prospects and opportunities.<br />
novative cabling solutions to meet the<br />
challenges of tomorrow – often surpassing<br />
the standards currently in place.<br />
As part of this overall objective, CEO<br />
Michel Riva considers it necessary to<br />
continue down the path of globalization.<br />
Now that the company has established<br />
itself, a sustained international outlook<br />
is necessary to move R&M into the<br />
next phase of its development.<br />
Increased customer focus and<br />
growth above the market average<br />
We also need to step up our pursuit<br />
of a decentralized business structure.<br />
While the headquarters is responsible<br />
for defining the corporate strategy, the<br />
task of implementing it is the responsibility<br />
of line managers – more and<br />
more of whom are now being appointed<br />
abroad. The relocation of development<br />
projects to Bulgaria and the establishment<br />
of assembly and engineering<br />
platforms in Dubai and India clearly<br />
demonstrate the direction in which we<br />
are headed.<br />
Our activities in the Public Network,<br />
Data Center, and Office Cabling sectors<br />
will continue in future, our customer<br />
focus will continue to sharpen, and our<br />
top priority will still be to achieve growth<br />
above the market average. n<br />
