EderfilBecker, a company located in the Basque Country (Northern Spain) is a striking example of innovative management. After a process of transformation which included the fusion of two companies, this manufacturer of electrically conductive materials created a management model based on self-organised teams in which communication, transparency and employee voice set the lines of action of its daily operations.
