Michael Wachsler-Markowitsch

„Jedes Unternehmen – ganz gleich ob ein Produktionsunternehmen, eine Handelsfirma oder ein Dienstleistungsbetrieb – tut gut daran in seinem Bereich zu forschen um neue Produkte zu entwickeln, Prozesse zu verbessern, Märkte zu erobern, Kundenverhalten zu begreifen und somit den eigenen wirtschaftlichen Erfolg langfristig sicherzustellen. Forschung bedeutet Fortschritt. Keine Forschung ist Stillstand und somit Rückschritt.“
