  • Siemens Company History Phase8
    New paths in a time of crisis 1989–2006 The years from 1989 to 2006 confronted the company with challenges unlike any before – including the first comprehensive reform of the corporate organization, the launch of the Ten- Point Program, and the compliance crisis – that compelled its chief players to make fundamental changes. 1989 was a year of profound changes, not just for Germany and global politics, but for Siemens. Twenty years after the company’s last major organizational reform, there was a need for action. Siemens AG had outgrown the structure that had been laid out back in 1966 and 1969. Where revenues in fiscal 1969 had been 12.7 billion deutschmarks, by 1986 they had risen to 51.4 billion. The number of business units had grown to eight by the end of the 1980s. Karlheinz Kaske, CEO from 1981 to 1992, aimed to improve "mo- bility, effectiveness and competitiveness," with an organizational structure that took due account of the company's changing envi- ronment – the technological paradigm shift from mechanical de- vices to electronics and microelectronics, the growth of interna- tional business, a greatly expanded worldwide customer base, and ever-intensifying competition. So top management first of all set up a more effective administrative structure. The eight former business units were rearranged into 15 new, leaner units, two operating Groups with their own legal form, and two independ- ent Divisions. Each was responsible for its own profits and value chain – from development through production to sales – and each was managed by three Group Executive Managers. Top management, which formerly included more than 30 people, was © Siemens Historical Institute 2017 1/4 siemens.com/history cut by a third.

    EDS EDS (Electronic Data Systems) - Corporate Profile [LAST UPDATED OCTOBER 2002] Click ahead to the Economic Profile section Click ahead to the Political Profile section Click ahead to the Social Profile section Click Ahead to the Stakeholder Profile section Click Ahead to the Quotations section (For background information on how these sections are organized, click here) 1. Organizational Profile According to their website: “EDS, the leading global services company, provides strategy, implementation and hosting for clients managing the business and technology complexities of the digital economy. EDS brings together the world’s best technologies to address critical client business imperatives.” They provide information technology services to various businesses and governments. Regarding governments, this includes such areas as welfare provision, Medicaid provision, U.S. Armed Forces Infrastructure, security systems management,… This is originally the company that made Ross Perot rich, as he is the founder. EDS made its money as the ‘original’ private contractor for government and Perot invested heavily in his political connections to do so. This included direct contacts in the Nixon administration and things such as Perot being a consultant for EDS’s first Medicare client Texas Blue Cross. Perot has since broken away from EDS, though EDS continues to be a major provider of outsourced government services, including, as mentioned above, being a major player in welfare and Medicaid provision, which is the focus of this profile. On September 18th 2002, EDS announced that its earnings per share for the quarter ending September 30th were likely to be much lower than previously stated. This caused EDS' share price to fall dramatically, losing more than half its value the following day and fell to as far down ad $10.09 on September 24th.

Especially my extraordinary and lovely mom, for her dedication, for leading me to the right path, for accepting and supporting my decisions, always taught me to think positively and be strong, because “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass…it's about learning how to dance in the rain!” And my grandparents for educating me during my childhood and believing me. Although they are in Shanghai, but they have always supported me when I needed. And to Tiotio, I would like to thank him for all the support I have received since I moved to Portugal. When I first came to Portugal, I did not understand a single word in Portuguese, with my family´s support and a lot of hard work I managed to overcome the language barrier. Secondly, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisors, Professor Manuel Duarte Pinheiro and Professor Manuel Correia Guedes, for their exemplary guidance, patience and information provided throughout the course of this work.
