Het geheim van het succes van ASML door schrijver René Raaijmakers

Schrijver René Raaijmakers presenteert de route naar succes van ASML, lessen voor R&D teams en ondernemerschap. Wat was er nodig om van reddeloos verloren tot 2 miljard winst te komen?

"Slimme ingenieurs op Philips' Natuurkundig Laboratorium ontwikkelen begin jaren zeventig als eerste in de wereld de waferstepper, een machine die ze vergelijken met een drukpers voor geld. Naderhand groeit spin-off ASML uit tot de absolute wereldleider in de markt voor wafersteppers."

Deze presentatie (en Q&A) is in het Nederlands. Registreer via de button, selecteer "ASML...", en je ontvangt de dial-in informatie.
