15. Key Issues
• Short term
– Contracting with the suppliers of the newest services and products companies, offering solutions
that the industry is ready to adapt immediately
– Partnering globally with top tier product and services providers in order to be able to shorten the
NPD time at a high quality, low cost and excellent user adaptability.
– The consequences of postponing this decision has an impact on short-term cash flow.
• Long term
– Partnering with incubators and research centers in order to involve them early in the
commercialization process. The issue is to be able to evaluate innovations that have a
commercial success.
– Partnering with universities to follow up basic research trends, and identifying those willing to
becoming entrepreneurs or willing to commercialize or sell their innovation..
– The consequences of postponing this decision has an impact on long-term cash flow.
– .
• The financial critical issues are being able to operate in the 6 areas, hire the Directors
and find technology consultants and sales personnel shortly (by the end of 2008). Due to
the global network organization the need for facilities is limited and does not need huge
financial investments, however high performance computing technologies are needed.
