ULMA is a business outfit consisting
of 8 strategic Business Units, with a high
degree of consolidation, within a common strategic
framework and agreed General Policies.
The overall
Organisational Model of the ULMA Group responds
to the competitive challenges
embraced by each one of the Group’s
different Businesses. It requires great agility
and organisational decentralisation both
in strategy and in the decision-making processes.
The
Organisational Model is committed to decentralisation
and self-management, to
self-regulating models and to horizontal
structures. This approach, linked to the
existing diversity of Businesses in the ULMA
Group and the scarce product-market synergy
existing amongst them, gives rise to an organisational
structure that is characterised by the extensive
autonomy of the Businesses (Strategy, Management,
etc.). The Group is focused on those functions
and services that further the activities
for which economies of scale and/or internal
cohesion are important and may add value.
