The US could be a greater contributor to overall sales. Need to find a strategy that is appropriate for the US

Pros

Coloplast sells products (ostomy, urology, skin and wound care) which make a difference in patient lives. Products are excellent quality.

Cons

Strategic changes occur more rapidly than allow for evaluation of success/failure of the prior strategy. Market issues in the US are not as well understood at headquarters (Denmark) as desirable which impacts plans and policies. Market share in some business units is so small that it is difficult to get traction to significantly increase market share. Selling through distributors adds obstacles, timing issues, and of course adds costs.

Business Outlook

Pros

I thought this was a different corporate culture since it is a company headquartered in Denmark. (US Hq is in Minneapolis, MN). I thought that they would value indididual efforts and that they would realize (like many european companies do) that the key to success and high productivity is employee happiness.

Cons

Upper management does not value hard work and do not reward loyalty. The Danes are just trying to achieve high profit margins. There is a disconnect between the unrealistic goals drafted by upper management in DK and the reality on the ground in the US. The direct result is alieanated and disenfranchised US employees (except for the Danes working in the US) and a company slowly loosing it's grip on the small market share that they currently hold.
