In the past one man was fortunate to work in the company, the main corporate culture where Buda opinion: “there is not your question, just a common purpose and common cause.” Some workers are quite skeptical of this philosophy, some considered it inadequate to the reality, some are quite naive. Less so, the idea is not just to work, and changed us forever.

Link middle management (heads of divisions and areas) become part of the Council on strategic issues. Thus, all who held had the freedom for decision-making at the appropriate level, took this decision from the point of view of the workflow as a whole.

- wide application of operational inter sectoral working groups (project groups);
- understanding of employees of various departments the specifics of each of them, possible implementation problems;
- an open dialogue between key experts;
- an organic combination of individual and collective responsibility, etc.

Some business owners think that a single purpose all employees can exist only in the case of small number of employees of the company.
