Question #1
Given the tension between his M&A-driven growth strategy and Galenica’s fragile margins, how does Werner decide when to sacrifice profitability for strategic expansion versus when to impose strict cost discipline?
Question #2
Considering the stark contrast between the successful Redcare joint venture and the failed Admeira diversification, what is Werner’s process for evaluating and integrating acquisitions outside his core expertise, and where is that process most likely to fail?
Question #3
To predict his execution on the critical Niederbipp ERP rollout, does Werner typically maintain deep, hands-on involvement in complex technical projects to ensure success, or does he prefer to delegate, risking operational failures like the recent Galexis implementation?
