Total Corporate Optimisation.pdf
Business optimisation is first and foremost dependent on understanding the company in terms of its characteristic features, its behaviour and its performance and the way it interacts with the external environment particularly clients and competition.A company is essentially a dynamic system that consumes or utilise resources to transform an input to an output. The output contributes some ‘value’ to some wider system; this being the company itself or the wider system such as region or country or global development. If the output is not carefully monitored and the transformation process controlled accordingly the output value will be inadequate; there will be output errors and system instabilities. Further more if the system is not designed to deliver its performance targets, the necessary adjustments may become difficult to implement and could cause performance instabilities. The TCO approach is aimed to provide optimised options for the organisational system and then to provide operating solutions to ensure proper control of the business performance.

· Business networking;
· Knowledge view of the firm;
· Corporate responsibility and sustainability;
· Stakeholder oriented approaches.
