Business newspaper and WHU honor Group chairman
Bonn, 09/20/2006, 11:30 AM CESTThe Financial Times Deutschland has named Dr. Klaus Zumwinkel, Chairman of the Management Board of Deutsche Post World Net, as the "strategist of the year." He was recognized for implementing a ground-breaking and sustainable corporate strategy in the category for companies with annual sales of more than 15 billion euro. The selection was not based on the decision of a jury. Instead, it was determined through the evaluation and weighting of objective data about the Group's development by the scientists of the WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management. The award, being presented this year for the third time, was established by the Financial Times Deutschland, the WHU (Vallendar/Koblenz) and the Bain & Company consulting firm.
The decision was based on an analysis of company data for the fiscal years of 2003-2005. Besides the overall performance of the company and chairman, key factors in the ranking were sales growth, employee development, return on equity and total shareholder return less equity costs. Ninety-eight listed German companies with sales of more than €1 billion and free-floating shares of at least 2 percent were ranked.
