Rapid growth poses significant challenges to managers, not least with regard to maintaining the balance between efficiency and creativity in their organizations. Using the example of a wholesale company operating in the potted plants value chain in the lower Rhine valley, Germany, the case illustrates how the company was able to exploit the opportunities arising from the concentration in the value chain, and the necessity to adjust their organizational model in response to these changes. The case chooses the example of a small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) as such firms constitute the prevalent type of enterprises in Germany. Simultaneously, SMEs often find it particularly difficult to adapt their tangible and intangible resources to such changes.

  • DLG Sells GASA Group to Erhvervsinvest
    DLG sells GASA Group to Erhvervsinvest • The DLG Group is selling its controlling interest in floral wholesaler GASA Group to the investment company Erhvervsinvest. • The divestment of GASA Group is part of DLG’s strategic focus on its core business. The DLG Group has entered into an agreement with the investment company Erhvervsinvest to sell 80% of its shares in its subsidiary GASA Group, a leading European distributor of flowers with activities in all European markets. The sale of GASA Group is the latest in a series of divestments focused on the DLG Group’s activities in its three core business areas: Farm Supply, Vitamins & Minerals and Service & Energy. DLG has owned the company since 2007, but following a successful turnaround of GASA Group, the DLG Group has been looking for a new owner to continue operating the company and exploiting GASA’s position on the European market. “We have owned GASA Group since 2007. Together with employees and the management, we have successfully turned around GASA Group into the profitable, well-managed company it is today, which makes us very proud. At the same time, we have made no secret of the fact that we are not the right owners for the long term. This is why we’re pleased to have found the right buyer who will continue to develop and continue the company, with DLG holding a minority interest,” says Lars Sørensen, CFO of the DLG Group and chairman of the board of GASA Group. Thomas Marstrand, managing partner and CEO of Erhvervsinvest, is pleased with the purchase of GASA Group.

    Dissolution of Networks Professor Niels Jørgensen, University of Southern Denmark1 1 Niels Jørgensen, University of Southern Denmark, Grundtvigs Allé 150, DK-6400 Sønderborg, phone: 6550 1224, fax: 6550 1292, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Many articles describe and analyse networks and relations in networks. Relationship building and relationship marketing has also been analysed. When and under what circumstances a company for example should be relationship orientated and when it should be transaction oriented, how relationships with subsuppliers are maintained and evaluated, and whether or not to extend its supplier cooperation. Due to first of all the IMP group, attention has been directed to the fact that many industrial companies are a part of more or less defined networks and that they have long-standing customer and supplier relationships. Various have emphasized that relationships do not last forever and that networks therefore change or dissolve. Circumstances may have changed by e.g. mergers, closures, or acquisitions. Factors in a company’s environment may also result in its relationships being ended because they are no longer advantageous. The fact that networks and relationships end has not invoked much attention in literature. It is, of course, relevant to analyse how companies build relationships and how they should act most appropriately, but one must also necessarily look at the process that leads to relationships being discontinued and networks being dissolved. How do the parties in the network react on dissolution tendencies – when the network for one reason or another is put under pressure – and what determines dissolution respectively maintenance of the network? This paper analyses these questions.
