limited career possibilities due to lack of growth of the business, no career planning, employees are sometimes treated as fixed assets, continuing focus on cost reduction, limited funds for new projects or technologies, conservative thinking and workenvironment without frills.

Advice to Senior Management

Define EPCOS culture, communicate more often, more transparency of decisions, get rid of old buddy network, create positive culture for disccusion, without fingerpointing. Do away with that only senior management takes the decisons, but empower lower level management to take own decisions. Leading by being a role model.
