Business Outlook
Pros
The acquisition by Danaher has brought much needed focus on product sales, quality, and bottom line profit. There have been significant changes to flaten the managment structure, reduce labor costs, improve space utilization, and reduce engineering spend. The result is improved profitability.
Cons
It is not clear if significant cost savings achieved through Danaher Business Systems will translate into long term organic growth and innovation. The model appears to be growth through acquisition, profitability through cost cutting, and repeat. Moral is down despite greatly improved financial results.
