Success Factor


Germany

If surveyed Germans would rank internal processes﹣how the work is done﹣just after people as the most critical success factor. However, often it seems that people serve processes more than processes serve people.

United States

If surveyed few Americans would mention processes as critical to success. Instead they would state customer orientation, innovation, rapid reaction time, and pricing. Concrete results are more relevant than how they were achieved.
