• Focus
– Concentration and attention on core business and competence “Nestle is focused: We are food and beverages. We are not running bicycle shops. Even in food we are not in all fields.
There are certain areas we do not touch…We have no soft drinks because I have said we will either buy Coca-Cola or we leave it alone. This is focus.”
~Helmut Maucher, former chairman of Nestlé SA~
