4.4. RISK LIMITATION
The business units are responsible for their own economic management.
They are advised to make only short lasting agreements with clients,
companies and institutions with a maximum term of one year. As
a consequence of this limited period it is possible to decide
in an early stage whether investments will be significant or a
planned course, training, educational programme or other activity
will be executed or not. Because of this in fact one can speak
about a limited point of no return: only when a course, educational
programme or other activity has been started up actively duties
will come out of the division managers and do they have to care
for guarantee of continuity. The risks of investment will be carried
merely by the business units. Before one can oversea however reasonably
well which risks can be limited: an activity with an expected
non profitable turnover simply will not be initiated. Also concerning
the conditions of enrolment the Management advises the business
units to act as careful as possible. That means that clients will
be kept to stick to their financial duties as long as the term
of the contract. In consideration with all division managers joint
identical contracts will be produced.
