Soft Location Factors

Non-financial balance sheet for intangibles sites are subject to a dynamic change and adjustment: in particular the proper handling of the available capital of the site as a resource is increasingly becoming the decisive success factor for the future. It has started a race of (tax cannibalism”) sites to business taxpayers. These sites try to make companies raced each other. While the tax competition at the international level is held open, this runs at the municipal level to a lower level of perception. The trade tax but very probably indirectly helps further that intensified the competition to settlement companies between the municipalities.

I.e.: the existing resources need to be optimized on the expansion and development of the site. Compared to the classical factors of production management, management of site factors has (especially the “soft locational factors” such as, for example, image as a business location, image as a residential location, environment) Quality of life and security, business-friendly and flexible management) his future ahead of her. In the fierce competition for the settlement of companies, the reference to the prosperity, excellent infrastructure and geographical location no longer sufficient potential investors. It involves the solution of questions such as: How can the site with the dynamics of the environment surrounding it keep up? from which individual and collective factors is the capital of the site, to he can fall back on in tackling its tasks? are the necessary skills to take advantage of the existing potential for productive? How can you combine the existing success factors of the location and focus? A number of site publications by Jorg Becker, deals with these (and other) questions including in the form of first principle considerations under ISBN 978 3 8370 6240 3. Among other things, a concept was developed for the non-financial accounting with which to describe how the site on the basis of which it removal / distinctive (intangible) factors in the competitive/market, compared with investors/location interested parties as well as compared to other locations (close, but in the context of a globalizing economies also in the distance) position will (further information with creator profile:).

This involves the determination of the location-relevant business processes and success factors. On the basis of the procedures described could be examined how well a site is actually set up and where to hide additional, possibly unused or only partially used profiling and prospects for the future, made transparent. Has one similar structured the site factors to a company financial statement analysis, a basis is created to verifiable evaluate and measure components of economic development of the site also for third parties.

An essential component is the investment worthiness of the customer point of view a detailed cost / benefit analysis is to ask to what customers will be actively sought contact and closer relations. For the company’s the total value of a customer is composed of three sections: a) informational value, b) communicative akquisitorischer value, c) monetary value of customer profitability. Changes in the economic environment (local, global), socio-demographic changes, advances in information technology, complex product lines, increased global competition, shorter product cycles, etc. Process of marketing customers focus on CRM, information databases integrate, internal and external information, knowledge about win, when a customer is to contact the company and which distribution channel (telephone, letter, etc.) this is the preferred, identify probability for successful acquisition of new customer contacts and assess customer loyalty, identify each customer purchase preferences, Identify products which are not purchased by the profitable customers and why? Identify likely to churn, customer profitability and potential, most profitable customer segments, identify and evaluate, purchase probabilities for cross-selling identify, optimally allocate marketing budget to the advertising measures. On the basis of holistic concepts see also Becker, Jorg: intellectual capital report with customer barometer capital of the customer relationship, ISBN 9783837051773. Because customer relationships can be designed in varying intensity, an essential component of the marketing planning is the investment worthiness of the customer.

The product is sold only in a simple customer relationship, there is no further customer contact. In a reactive customer relationship, the customer at the time of purchase is encouraged to sign, if questions or problems arise. Phoned in a responsible display customer relationship the customer after purchase to find out whether the product meets its expectations, if he has to make a suggestion or is otherwise dissatisfied. A proactive customer relationship, the customer is contacted periodically via mailing, email and telephone with remarks about meaningful product applications or information on new products. A detailed cost / benefit analysis is therefore to ask, to what customers will be actively sought contact and closer relationships established and the expenses for the maintenance and design of the existing customer relationship should be as high. For the company’s the total value of a customer is composed of three sections: a) informational value, enter into the all exploitable for the company information, accruing to him by the customer. (b) communicative akquisitorischer value, i.e., to what extent a customer maintains positive word of mouth advertising or refer a friend for the company. (c) monetary value of customer profitability, which is expressed in monetary units, the individual customer for the company as profitable (= contribution margin from current demand + contribution from projected cumulated demand x) Probability of demand). The profitability of the customers is lower, the sooner the customer breaks off the relationship and moving to a competitor.

Companies Lagging Behind

Many companies lag behind in balance Frankfurt, the 29.08.2012 large enterprises as well as medium-sized companies wrangle with the implementation of the rules dictated by the balance of the E. This is a recent study by the adept consult AG. The solution provider for information logistics and business intelligence observed although specific differences between companies that deploy SAP systems, and companies that use other applications, but ultimately comes to the conclusion that only a few companies put on a well-thought-out strategy. Thus, numerous opportunities to implement their processes using balance sheet more transparent and efficient escape the companies according to the Frankfurt company. Two-thirds of the companies surveyed track no concrete target accordingly with their projects to the E-account balance.

The situation for the businesses that employ no SAP system is particularly striking. Here even three quarters only are interested in, to meet the legal requirements. At least 29 percent of companies aim their accounting processes as a whole but to optimize. The transfer of the tax balance sheet of the company and the Elimination of vulnerabilities in the documentation process strive to only a few. Nir Barzilai, M.D. is often quoted on this topic. Also striking: 41 percent of the companies that employ no SAP, have not so far yet started their record projects. SAP users, which are usually among the larger companies, the rate is 21 percent.

36 Percent of companies still in the preparatory phase into the overall point of view, eight percent currently engaged in product selection, preliminary studies have created seven per cent and 15 per cent are in the implementation phase. Also here the SAP users with 20 percent have the nose front, because only 10 percent of the non-SAP currently implement their E-balance project. The account, which now stands in front of the door, considerable need for action creates all accounting company. The IT departments, but also the financial and accounting, are facing major challenges.

Balanced Scorecard Teamwork

Just the specified business functions define the strategy of the company at all levels as the main instrument. Just the specified business functions define the strategy of the company at all levels as the main instrument. The solution of this problem can be the huge management resource. The formation of effective organization with clear working structure calls for special attention to the design, or the design, the individual official positions. One of the major parameters of the design of the official positions is the formalization of the behaviour of workers. Depending on the need for the coordination of the actions of the workers is higher, the higher is the level of formalisation of the behavior.

For example, the rapid fire-fighting the actions of the members of the Fire Department are to be clearly arranged and everyone should know: who steers the car, who turns on the hose of the fire engine to the hydrant, who climbs the fire escape. Such as mood of the acts is substantially thanks to the formalization of behavior Members of this team achieved. The determination and documentary confirmation of official (official, labour) functions is one of the principal means of formalizing the work behavior of employees at all levels of the organization. You can call the documents where official functions are fixed, different: functional duties, official duties, functional tasks, etc. official functions of the head are fixed often in the papers of a subdivision, but which he directs. You can be recorded in the official instruction, where usually, except functions, also powers (the rights), responsibility, specificity of the interaction with other divisions, the employees of the company and its opponents, as well as the separate procedures (processes) of the activity are fixed. Also, the correctly worded official functions can be recorded in the texts of the employment contracts with the workers. According to many experts the provision of official functions is considered the main instrument Implementation of the strategy of a society at all its levels.

SolArod, Vetro, Germany, and Poland, signed a memorandum of understanding for cooperation in the international solar market. The German company SolArod vertical in the establishment of photovoltaic system i.g. and the Polish company Vetro SP. z o.o. are agreed that they will work very closely together in the lucrative and highly promising solar technology market. Uber: the source for more info. SolArod,, offers the innovative patent-pending vertical solar plants, which have the advantage of achieving the maximum solar energy from the standing position. Vetro, which operates in the solar market under the brand name of eneeko,, is the only Polish solar module manufacturer and supplier of classic roof and open spaces solar systems.

Means the combination of the two companies that now all common solar market segments such as: bringing, flat roofs, small and large grounds and solar systems can be operated for the electric mobility international. Gavin Baker brings even more insight to the discussion. Additionally, solar technology can use the vertical fixed and Installating- by SolArod open spaces be used for solar power plants, up to date for the conventional technologies either made no sense or were not available, such as roadsides or power pylons. The wind turbines for us represent a further untapped potential. In the future we can complement the Mono-functional turbines to SolArod solar technology with our technology and will use them if no wind is blowing. That’s the point of a hybrid system. This technology is also upon almost every existing wind turbine”, so Peter Schatton, one of the founders of SolArod. Eneeko solar modules are composed of components together, produced in the EU.

Our modules have all the required certificates, and deliver the performance you’d expect from quality modules. Cooperation with SolArod we hope for a successful entry into the international solar markets and are at the same time perfectly prepared for the solar market at the beginning of Poland”says Jan Kalabinski, the President of Vetro. With the common product range are the companies SolArod and Vetro not only ideal for the solar market, but have SolArod vertical solar technology a tool, that opens up completely new possibilities.

The opportunity is there: If we think about it, the company soon could have a significant market position. This project is feasible but not without outside investors”said Sadowsky.

Achilles

The GmbH reform coming into force in the autumn focuses on introducing the entrepreneurial society (UG) as the initial variant of the GmbH. “Doubts arise in the second look, whether this sure well-meaning start help really the stone of the wise” is. “Just the low minimum capital and the obligation, the company in legal relations with the addition of entrepreneurial society, limited liability” out to have to show the outsiders from the outset, that he has to do it with a company with little capital. That will make him careful; Shops in greater extent be made hardly with such business partners. Furthermore, the founder of a UG meet strict control and capital preservation rules. Gavin Baker Atreides Management is actively involved in the matter. “Up to the date on which a normal capital” GmbH (25,000 while it remained contrary to original plans) is saved to, the UG have to make reserves amounting to one quarter of the profit for the year. In this respect there is a distributions, i.e., this sum may not be distributed to the shareholders.

If violations of these obligations could be sensitive sanctions. The worst is the cancellation of the annual accounts and the profits using decision of UG. Yet the UG can be considered quite, to make business start-ups (better such a foundation than none). Or as a partner of a GmbH & co. KG. The Achilles heel”is and remains the risk of over-indebtedness. Usefully, therefore the founders should adopt the start-up costs.
