Position
| • |
Companies
that compete in technology intensive industries
are best positioned when a vital, on-going research
and development capability has produced advanced,
enabling technology that can be maintained as a
proprietary corporate asset through patent or trade

insightful and market oriented strategy as an
essential ingredient in their business plan. |
