EADS plans to decentralise its commercial activities

and to pass the commands onto its various divisions, reports La Lettre A. In the past, the teams of Jean-Luc Lagardere had decided to concentrate these activities in order to retain control over the group’s divisions. This organisation has been called into question since the death of Mr Lagardere and the progressive departures of his so-called “Lagardere Boys”. Besides, as order books are full, Louis Gallois’s priority is no longer to win new orders but to make sure deliveries to customers remain on schedule. Hence, he focuses on production capacities and productivity gains, in the face of the rising euro.
