The questionnaire is aimed at employees in Controlling or people in the company who perform controlling activities.You will need about 15 minutes to complete it.

| INTERNATIONAL WORK GROUP – EXPERIENCES 2015 |
|
|
Working for and with NOMAX trading |
|
The International Work Group worked for and with a Polish family owned company, NOMAX trading, in 2015. Controllers and consultants from Romania, Croatia, Slovenia, Poland and Germany met in the south-west part of Poland twice: in June and October 2015. The participants of the process first learnt how the production looks like: they visited the production halls. Then teams of 4-6 people started to define focus areas: going to European markets, sales controlling-ideas and developing a management KPI’s dashboard. Every team presented their work’s results to the others the next day. You can hear them on a movie presented on the homepage of the WG. The Work Group has already planned the dates of their meetings in 2016 and is now looking for another target company that they can help.

|
|
Financing program must be tailored to company specifics |
|
The success of corporate restructuring essentially depends on the financing model applied by the companies in distress. The financing environment in Germany has become increasingly complex in recent years as banking regulations have been tightened and more financial stakeholders with divergent interests have entered the fray. And this has a direct impact on how companies are financed in a restructuring situation. In a new study, "Financial Restructuring 2015", experts from Roland Berger offer an insight into the most frequently used financing instruments and what influence they have on a company's restructuring success.
