The company employs roughly 360,000 associates worldwide (as per April 1, 2015), and generated sales of 49 billion euros in 2014.* Its operations are divided into four business sectors: Mobility Solutions, Industrial Technology, Consumer Goods, and Energy and Building Technology. The Bosch Group comprises Robert Bosch GmbH and its roughly 440 subsidiaries and regional companies in some 60 countries. Including its sales and service partners, Bosch is represented in roughly 150 countries. This worldwide development, manufacturing, and sales network is the foundation for further growth. In 2014, Bosch applied for some 4,600 patents worldwide. The Bosch Group’s strategic objective is to create solutions for a connected world. Bosch improves quality of life worldwide with products and services that are innovative and spark enthusiasm. In short, Bosch creates technology that is “Invented for life.” The company was set up in Stuttgart in 1886 by Robert Bosch (1861–1942) as “Workshop for Precision Mechanics and Electrical Engineering.” The special ownership structure of Robert Bosch GmbH guarantees the entrepreneurial freedom of the Bosch Group, making it possible for the company to plan over the long term and to undertake significant up-front investments in the safeguarding of its future. Ninety-two percent of the share capital of Robert Bosch GmbH is held by Robert Bosch Stiftung GmbH, a charitable foundation. The majority of voting rights are held by Robert Bosch Industrietreuhand KG, an industrial trust. The entrepreneurial ownership functions are carried out by the trust. The remaining shares are held by the Bosch family and by Robert Bosch GmbH. * The sales figure disclosed for 2014 does not include the former joint ventures BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH (now BSH Hausge- räte GmbH) and ZF Lenksysteme GmbH (now Robert Bosch Automotive Steering GmbH), which have since been taken over completely. 6 Bosch today 2015 Contents “We are Bosch” mission statement 2 The Bosch Group at a glance 4 Innovations 7 Business sectors Mobility Solutions 10 Industrial Technology 12 Consumer Goods 14 Energy and Building Technology 16 The business year 2014 18 Sustainability 24 Robert Bosch Stiftung 26 Bosch as an employer 28 The Bosch Group in Germany 30 The Bosch Group in Europe (outside Germany) 32 The Bosch Group outside Europe 34 Milestones 36 Management 42 How to contact us 43 7 2014: Growth through innovation The figures speak for themselves: in 2014, the Bosch Group filed 4,593 patent applications and hired a further 3,000 research and development associates, who work at 94 engineering sites worldwide. The main drivers of this success story are dedicated engineers whose tremendous creativity and unconventional ideas give rise to novel solutions, and whose work carries forward the company’s long tradition of innovation. In 2014, Bosch spent some five billion euros on research and development in order to further enhance the company’s innovative strength. One strategic focus of these R&D activities is the development of solutions for the internet of things – in other words, connect- ing objects and sensors over the internet with software. For some years, Bosch has been preparing itself systematically for the connected world, not least by expanding its own software competence, which it then combines with the industry expertise of its divisions. Moreover, Bosch is the leading supplier of MEMS sensors, which are a key technology for the internet of things. Even now, the company is helping to connect vehicles with the internet, providing apps that make central heating controls accessible, and involving its own suppliers online in the supply chain for the production of diesel injectors. And thanks to Bosch technology, even electric ovens and other household appliances are already connected to the internet. Bosch is taking mobility forward thanks to its expertise relating not only to connectivity, but also to automation and electrifica- tion. Its aim is to use this know-how as a basis for developing the eco-friendly and resource-conserving mobility solutions of the future. Even now, more than half the company’s total R&D budget goes into the development of products that protect the environment and conserve resources. 8 Bosch today 2015 The Renningen location just outside Stuttgart is the new nerve center of the international Bosch research network. Together with their colleagues around the world, its roughly 1,200 associates explore new materials, methods, and technologies, and develop innovative systems, components, and manufacturing processes.

The sector combines the group’s expertise in three mobility domains – automation, electrification, and connectiv- ity – and offers its customers integrated mobility solutions. Its main areas of activity are injection technology and powertrain peripherals for internal-combustion engines, diverse solutions for powertrain electrification, safety and driver-assistance systems, technology for user-friendly infotainment as well as car-to-car and car-to-x communication, repair-shop concepts, and tech- nology and services for the automotive aftermarket. Bosch has been responsible for important automotive innovations, such as electronic engine management, the ESP® anti-skid system, and common-rail diesel technology. 11 Mobility Solutions Sales structure by business sector Bosch Group 2014 Percentage figures Industrial Technology Mobility 14 Solutions 68 Consumer Goods 9 Energy and Building Technology 9 Total: 49 billion euros Mobility Solutions (formerly Automotive Technology) Gasoline Systems Diesel Systems Chassis Systems Control Electrical Drives * Robert Bosch Automotive Starter Motors and Generators Steering GmbH (formerly ZF Car Multimedia Lenksysteme GmbH, or Steering Systems division; included in Automotive Electronics the 2014 financial statements Automotive Aftermarket at equity; completely acquired Automotive Steering * Jan. 30, 2015) www.bosch-mobility-solutions.com 12 Bosch today 2015 Industrial Technology In the fiscal year 2014, the Industrial Technology business sector generated roughly 14 percent of total Bosch Group sales.

With examples from the BOSCH and BLAUPUNKT production range their application in regulators, breakerless ignition modules, electronically-controlled fuel injection systems and car radios is illustrated. The elements and techniques used to assemble the hybrids, and the advantages which can be gained are discussed. 1 INTRODUCTION thick film ciruits though still purely resistance networks- secured a firm place in automotive The application of electronics, and especially electronics and even at this time enabled cost-saving microelectronics in motor vehicles, has the aim of matching of functions (Figure 1). increasing service value, ease of operation and safety, In 1978 a hybrid regulator was introduced (Figure of lessening the environmental impact of the vehicle 2).

  • Using CSR As a Key Element for Achieving Competitive Advantage
    025-0181 Moral has no seasons: Using CSR as a key element for achieving competitive advantage. Marina Mattera Department of Economics and International Relations Universidad Europea de Madrid, C/Tajo, s/n. 28670-Villaviciosa de Odon-(Madrid) Spain POMS 23rd Annual Conference Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. April 20 to April 23, 2011 Abstract: Firms' new challenges in the 21st century involve innovation and society's request for a more responsible business model. Based on bounded rationality conditions and the important role of externalities, it is analyzed through a case study whether corporate social responsibility strategies are essential for companies to achieve sustainable competitive advantages. Key words: Sustainable Development; Sustainable Management; Corporate Social Responsability; Open Innovation models. 1. Introduction Efforts towards generating sustainable growth and steady benefits have owned its accurate planning to the competitive advantage owned by the company. In several studies, it has been demonstrated that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can improve a firm’s performance by enhancing the prestige and perception from consumers’ perspective (competitive advantage). However, it has also been denoted that solid inter-agents relationships are enhanced when they have consolidated CSR actions between them. New models for conducting business emerge, and together with them new difficulties. Known as “open innovation” (OI) models, the aforementioned collaborations between organizations have also gained a purely international character. This study aims to analyze those new interactions and relationships between firms, which of them succeed and the role corporate social responsibility plays in such a context. Taking into account the complex level of the existing interrelationship between agents and countries where they operate, it becomes difficult to accurately depict the company’s culture, its values, and beliefs; as shown in Figure 1.
