NKT is a company focused on maximising the value-generating potential of each of its businesses.
Manage NKTs values
Parallel with this, "best owner" principles are observed in the Group’s development. For us, this means that long-term ownership by NKT is contingent upon the potential for development and value creation in the individual company being at least as great as under alternative ownership.
The Group’s development has taught us that lasting assets and potentials are, virtually without exception, created over a long period through focused effort and with ongoing gradual improvement as an objective. In addition to this, correct timing - in the broad sense - is another significant parameter which determines the added value that potentially can be generated or activated.
Stimulate talents
Based on this philosophy the Group’s businesses operate to clear objectives and within a collaborative structure that seeks to stimulate the pool of talent existing in the different companies. Professional challenges, independence, flexibility and influence are an intrinsic part of most positions at NKT.
It stands to reason that efforts that add value do make a difference - whether these efforts are by individuals or groups. This is one reason why we have introduced incentive schemes in our companies.
Interaction with the outside world
It is vital to our future activities that we can attract and retain people with unique competencies, and that we can function together with all the players in the value chains
- customers, suppliers, competitors, universities and research laboratories - with a view to process optimisation, collective learning, and utilisation of the knowledge resources and competencies possessed by each party.
NKT’s innovative measures build on the ability to combine technological and market opportunities, including forming partnerships with other players - and to effectively protect and strengthen our intellectual property rights.
At NKT we protect our reputation. We are committed to meeting the challenges of the world we live in, and we strive to ensure that our own view of NKT as a credible, open, professional and quality-driven partner is shared by our stakeholders.
