Decentralized organizational structure
DSM has a decentralized
organizational structure built around business groups that are empowered
to carry out all business functions. This structure ensures a flexible,
efficient and fast response to market changes. At the corporate level, we have
a number of staff departments to support the
Managing Board of Directors and business groups.
The services of a number of shared service departments,
DSM Research and inter-group product supplies are contracted by the
business groups at market prices.
Strategies
Business groups base their strategies on in-depth
analyses, which they make every three years on average and review annually. On
the basis of the results, value creation targets, key success factors and
performance indicators are established. These are then laid down in a
Strategic Value Contract, which forms the basis for internal business
steering. The individual incentives for business group management are linked
to this contract.
