  • Front-Back Model
    THE FRONT-BACK MODEL: HOW DOES IT WORK? JAY GALBRAITH November 2005 The front-back structure, when it works, rests on three strong legs. First, there is a strong front-end focused on customer relationships, shopper insights and mastery of channels. Second, there is a strong global back-end based on products and brands, user insights and a global product development process. Less obvious and equally essential is strong leadership – the third leg linking the front and the back. Hewlett-Packard lags IBM because the company has not had the strong leadership to make the front-end an equal partner to the product lines. Carly Fiorina tried to be the link by herself, despite Board requests for a COO. Similarly when Procter & Gamble went to its Organization 2005, Jager tried to bridge the GBU-MDO gap by himself. He failed. He supported the GBUs, increased R&D spending and the MDOs were overwhelmed with new product launches. When Lafley took over, he immediately expanded top management capacity by adding a Vice-Chairman in charge of the MDOs. Driven in part by succession issues, Lafley has created four Vice-Chairmen in charge of clusters of GBUs (15 in total) and MDOs (7 in total). Jim Kilts, who is leading the P&G-Gillette integration, is the fifth Vice-Chairman. The result is sufficient enterprise management capacity to link the front and the back. The means by which this leadership is exercised is through the management processes and personal networks. The management processes are necessary because the front-back model is an interdependent system of profit centers.

  • 2.2.9. Procter & Gamble
    1 Dirty recyclables of a Procter & Gamble brand Credit: Les Stone P&G has made no commitments regarding collection, and neither calls for legislation in this area nor mentions support for DRS. It high- lights different targets on its US environmental sustainability webpage6 than on its UK equivalent.7 At the time of writing, there was no reference to the development of reuse-and-refill delivery models for P&G products on their UK site;8 on its US site, however, the company highlights its 2019 participation in test programmes with TerraCycle’s Loop project in New York and Paris,9 in which its brands Pantene, Gillette and Venus were included.10 When it comes to reduction of virgin-plastic use, P&G states alternative materials will only be used ‘when it makes sense’, and that lightweighting, increasing recycled content and moving towards more concentrated products will take priority.11 However, this does not appear to involve an absolute reduction in the total number of single-use plastic-packaging units. It is also unclear what instances the company will consider using alternative materials in, and which types of materials. In another document on the company’s brand criteria for 2030, it states it will achieve ‘a meaningful increase in responsibly-sourced bio-based, or recycled or more resource efficient materi- als’;12 however, this commitment is nebulous because it does not include an actual target, timeframe or more detail on what ‘responsi- bly-sourced’ means. When it comes to minimum recycled content, P&G talks about ‘continuously innovating with recycled plastic’,13 and, according to As You Sow, has a recycled-content target of 8% for 2025.14 This is a very modest increase – from 6.3% in 2018.

P&G expects to contribute approximately $1.8 billion in cash to the Duracell Company in the pre- transaction recapitalization.

    Paper to be presented at the DRUID 2012 on June 19 to June 21 at CBS, Copenhagen, Denmark, Interlocking patent rights and modularity: Insights from the Gillette Fusion razor Christian Sternitzke CFH Beteiligungsgesellschaft [email protected] Abstract This paper investigates how firms can enhance value appropriation of modular and integral products through creating interlocking property rights. I analyze patent filings for the Gillette Fusion, a razor with both modular and integral components from a company known for its superior IP strategy. Several levels of interlocking activities were identified, including patent claims following a hierarchical structure and filings of overlapping content in multiple patent families. In general, the degree of technological coupling of components as well as the business model involved influences the creation of interlocking patents which, for integral systems, further enhance complexity.
