| FRONTIER COUNTRY REPORT – ESTONIA |
|
|
High influence on European economic situation |
|
Deutsche Bank published Frontier Country Report on Estonia – it says that the country remain vulnerable to external shocks, both via the trade channel and the banking sector (of which 80% is Swedish). That’s why economic conditions in Sweden influence situation in Estonia so strongly. Also recession in Russia and the ban on some EU food products negatively affected Estonia’s trade: export rate to Russia declined by 16% in 2014 and 37% in January-October 2015. Although we expect total exports to recover somewhat in 2016 on higher demand from the EU, exports to Russia will likely remain subdued.

| NEW ROLAND BERGER STUDY |
|
|
Chief strategists should coordinate their work across divisions to a greater extent |
|
New study by Roland Berger and the University of St.Gallen (HSG) finds that even though 94 percent of the companies have a central strategy department at corporate headquarters, it does not carry sole responsibility for formulating and implementing the company's overall strategy. 44 percent of European firms involve different departments in formulating their corporate strategy. Globally operating enterprises need to have a thorough overview of what's going on throughout the company and require input from all concerned parties if they want to be fast and flexible in reacting to new customer needs and market trends. Added to that, as Dr. Tim Zimmermann, Partner at Roland Berger, explains, "Staff are more motivated and more willing to accept the new strategy and actually put it into practice if it has
not simply been imposed from above."
