and you. don't even know what time your voice is what i call the seventy seven percent talk about the issues that might come out. from the quarterly class or from housing to group time this is. welcome to the seventy seven percent. of people six v.w. . competition it's the very heart of any market economy that's healthy competition between companies driving innovation lowering prices for consumers that's why we even have

watchdogs guarding this key building block of prosperity competition is everywhere and it can also get very annoying it's hard enough when your competitor is simply better than you but what if he doesn't play a straight game what if your competitor is a colleague a neighbor someone in your own family is a competitor or an enemy that's what we're looking at today competition in the markets and also in the workplace welcome to made in germany. competition starts in the home between siblings it can turn into a real rivalry when family businesses are involved it can both be healthy and help the company thrive or it can lead to split and spawn rival companies there are two good examples for that in german corporate history and they involve sports cars and sports shoes the famous brand names you know for sure but did you know about the family connection. family feuds part one.

they once shared a sports shoe factory the brothers r.d. and rudolph but they fell out and founded at the us rudy as he was known took his part of the business and set up. they became bitter rivals for the sportswear market that he does that was innovative and his company took the lead from the start. he was successful he was rich he was world famous but he'd stand at the machine and work alongside his staff when he was around fifty two or fifty three he lost his left index finger in a machine accident. rudy struggled to catch up with his brother. i've rarely encountered anyone like rudolph he was a businessman obviously and he always had good instincts the big stores with the number ten on their jerseys were with puma not with adidas. they vied for star athletes to promote their products. on

a regional shoe from nine hundred fifty four this is what marks morelock was wearing when he shot one back against hungary in the world cup final and. it deserves to be a museum piece. later footballer of the year. materialist was committed to because his father was a caretaker of inverts. so we had no choice but to start playing at a pool or club. the brothers remain rivals for the rest of their lives by both or global enterprises in the sporting goods and fashion industry and today that conflict no longer plays a role the founders are long gone and now both companies are run by professional managers. family feuds to. fatten on porsche was the founding father of car makers v.w.

and porsche his family retained majority ownership of both brands his grandsons freddie and ford for gun porsche wrestled for control of the business is. when major assets and big corporations are at stake these conflicts can easily a skillet especially when the errors are strong personalities. became chairman and c.e.o. of can help make it the world's biggest automaker. porsche was in the driving seat at sports car maker porsche the company remains small but for years it was the world's most profitable car maker. in two thousand and nine porsche soared to take over for its wagon but the attempt failed and in twenty twelve it was a v.w. that swallowed up porsche the takeover struggle week of both brands. thoughts walk and got help from the emirates of qatar which continues to exert

a major influence. p.f. who many in the family disliked was dethroned. the family still holds a majority stake in fox wagon fadi nine pm. i have a total of sixteen children none of them has so far i'm. as a successor the family rivalry continues. lots of potential for more fights there competition also exist between ideas in britain for example has long been intense competition between two political ideas that is coming to a head right now to stay in the e.u. also leave it the referendum in twenty six scene was intended to settle that dispute once and for all but if you look at britain possibly only days away from breaks it right now you get the impression the bait is more fiery benefit our reporter louise also born went to her hometown in the country county rather sorry

and found the two camps pitted against each other divided like never before. this is my home town working and this is where i started out as a journalist now back then i used to come here all the time to talk to people about how they felt about different issues i thought i'd come back today and see what people think about. this disaster on how. she's going to be crazy i mean do you know any people. you know anybody that voted to leave. you. know it's a big shame i'm disappointed in the naturally some of my family members don't be ashamed of that. is why we have a democracy what about you what do you think. i now

live from work and from there it seems as if divisions are taking person of course but is that true here i'm sorry in the southeast for almost just over fifty two percent remain. divided the united kingdom leave the european union or remain but want to think i've come to meet matthew ford at the health food producing creative nature to find out how brics it has affected his business. we've seen positives at the moment in the build up to march twenty ninth because the pound was weaker so a lot of people wanted to buy british products which is great so we've expanded our export a lot but it's the price is the packaging that i'm really worried about. we source our boxes from the u.k. but some of them source the cardboard from outside the. very worry to that these prices are going to go up and that's going to have an effect on every single

business. so matthew seems torn. i decide to ask him how he fucked it so i. leave now i've got a lot of different views on it but i would still very same way do you think that these divisions between remaining and leave have affected the business in any way at all. personal levels that it's just been really quite sad to see how some people react because you've got a different. you know we're trying to unite the u.k. . what surprised me i haven't really thought about breakfast as a uniting factor. when you're talking to people everybody's got something to say about. there are divisions in society with regards to you know whether you're in the remain or leave camp. but it's you know people around to talk.

but there must be businesses that have doubts about it here at the so-called clinic consultants are advising how to plan for a no deal one participant is from a german building. where really for the next it's. to have everything and continue obviously all that any way. gary has helped organize fourteen clinics across sorry so far. before the referendum. and we came to about fifty fiftieth's growing and so ascot's has been completely neutral. we just want to support businesses who want to make sure that they are getting the advice. to prepare whatever the outcome. it's been a long time for a drink. the voters here tell me they want to talk about religion ex-partners

politics but soon it stops even here it seems there's no break from brunch there. and there's no break from break. as a british expat living here in germany have you prepared. i've done some preparation so the german government told us that we needed to register so that we hopefully get residency i've done that and they've said they would meet us in three months after that takes place whenever that will be. so there is that and i'm also preparing to apply for jan and such some ship just to ensure that i'll be able to stay and that won't be any problems with that so that it takes a lot of work supported by our own government. that's hard to say i mean there have been a lot of then events sorry where they've tried to help us prepare for breaks and to

talk to us about the different possibilities of what could happen but it's been kind of. well difficult for them because obviously nobody knows what's going to happen so it's difficult to prepare and to help people get ready if you don't know what the ending is going to be what will change for you in the event of a hard break says well hopefully like i said i'd be able to get pumped a residence here residency here regardless i've been here for seven years now you have to have been here for five years to qualify for it so in that case i'd be able to stay here but when it comes to moving to any other e.u. countries i mean. usually i mean i could apply i'd be treated as a. country citizen then it's just it's a little bit crazy having those rights taken away from you when you've had them all the life so it's true the same for me have lived in london for a long time and only came back to germany two years ago and it feels

a bit weird that britain is not a part of the union rather very soon how well we shall find out but your family of course you you when they're also does your family living in britain what's their view on brakes is there a risk going through there for your family's well i think you know like everyone in the u.k. and every part of the u.k. there is a division in my family as well quite a few of my family members slated to remain a couple of them voted to leave and there have been a couple of arguments about it nothing serious. no fix why it's not yet anyway maybe off to it's you never know. but i think that really uniting around the idea that they just want this to be over with just for something to have happened for for some way for it and that's the mood generally in the u.k. i think that just they want this. done and just wanted to be to be able with what's your personal view of your personal future if breaks in so up in the air right now

yeah i mean who knows until i mean we don't even know whether the twenty ninth is going to be going out or you know the fourteenth is. banded around i mean i'm just waiting to see what really happens i'm not really saying which way i voiced it because i would prefer not to. but. yeah i mean like everybody else it's a little bit confusing at the moment it changes on a day to day basis so it does doesn't really help it really doesn't. report i thank you very much for joining me in this review today. germany has many thriving mid-sized companies which build the backbone of the country's strong economy and often several firms competing in the same sector are based in the very same place forming local clusters of excellence one example is the german town of totaling and which is home to several manufacturers of and a scope of devices all vying for the top world's top spot in the field so what's it

like when the biggest business rival in the world living next door. so klingon is a small town in southwest germany it's also a global center of medical technology among the many companies are to leaders in the field and school up and college thoughts. it's not a question of love or hate it's more like sports competitions we have it but nobody at stuart's wanted to talk to us about as school up short is the world's largest manufacturer of medical endoscopes people here say escuela missed the boat it hadn't realized soon enough the advantages of pairing inside the human body. culture starts is very big in r. and d. a bit bigger than us here at a school up we're still competitive in our products are just as good as some or even better you can soak up. sales at escuela a somewhat higher the companies both make

a wide range of products used in surgery so they keep a close eye on each other and use of any innovation spreads fast in this town i know. the competition is fierce there are two companies our neighbors and watch each other very intently if one makes something new and the other tries to catch up but that proximity helped spur both companies to do the souls. both companies are struggling to find skilled workers and offer considerable enticements the idea was floated that they wouldn't headhunt each other stuff but a deal was never signed. it can be annoying but we know it's a game of give and take you might lose a good member of staff and then game one. skilled staff a key to their survival more than one hundred firms here including escuela up and

shorts got together to support the creation of a college into a killing and as an offshoot of fortifying and university. the firms provide funding of two and a half million euros a year. by doing school up and starts cooperate very nicely on this project you might say the campus is a kind of neutral platform where they can work together. and they're almost four hundred companies into klingon involved in medical technology insiders say consolidation is likely given the competition from china cooperation may soon be the name of the game. it's a small cheap component and it's essential for industry the resistor electrical resistance is essential in devices from light bulbs to power lines a simple equation describing resistance was discovered by the physicist. resistance is useful like to call resistance that is to comes in the form of

a small component that costs as little as fifty three cents resistors put up with a lot and don't make a fuss. with resistors industry would grind to a halt. they're essential in all kinds of circuitry. they're found not only end laptops washing machines and loudspeakers but also in winter binds power lines even in bucket wheel excavators the filament in an incandescent light bulb is a kind of resistor one that generates both light and heat electrical resistance is a measure of opposition to the flow of electrons that move as a current through a conducting cable driven by the voltage between positively and negatively charged poles the magnitude of the current depends on the rate of electron flow the thicker the conductor the more electrons can pass in a given time. and what contain the wild flow of current

a resist or how much resistance it will put up can be easily calculated the voltage denoted as you and measured in volts or v. divided by the current i am pairs or a gives the value of the resistance are the unit is the arm symbolized by omega. this famous relation is known as ohms law it's named after the german physicist georg cmon. where would we be without his discovery in a state of constant short circuit with all resistors all of our cables our steam irons and televisions would start blowing their fuses so resistance is useful indeed. competition in the workplace is a healthy thing that stays productive it's a thin line for management to keep competition a life without stifling corporation but sometimes things go wrong so badly that employees for example refused to speak to each other on the mining productivity

creating toxic work places conflicts on the job can cost companies time energy and money and that's the moment for the professional mediate. say you have a feeling that someone's looking to point a finger at you. everything they do is designed to make you look bad. in situations like this you're in tapping the other person's behavior and almost creating your own reality. i don't know what to say i can't work with his colleague i can't talk to him or. his issues it's not easy for you to be here because things have already gone so far do you feel the same yes i did what was so you don't want to be here you'd rather be back in the office working hour and my boss told me i had to take part. because

of the managers get in touch when they see there's a bad feeling and some sort of conflict in a team and something has to change in the body on all we might get a call because some colleagues have been at loggerheads for two years people are leaving because they're affected by the conflict and they just can't take it anymore. as i was were olds. could so why not my role here is to support you both equally you know i'm not here to take science either i'm here to help both of you reach an agreement that you're both happy with . it is it by that means. it's on the upside we encourage people to take responsibility and we trust that they can sort the problem out we try to get to the root of the problem and figure out how the working relationship can be restored and people come here with intractable positions even when a conflict has been dragging on for months or even years we're not going to be able

to appeal to their better nature and resolve it in ten minutes the way we all want to be appreciated we want relationships based on mutual trust and respect. but if when your colleague says i just like him to listen sometimes what's your response to that. cope it's the first time she said that whatever i say just gets ignored. part is the solemn word empathy is crucial i try to tease out their feelings and expectations while the other person is listening sometimes you get these magic moments where one of them says a right that's what you meant and that's the moment where they can see the situation from a different point of view and that's when i get goose bumps because i can tell that the mood is shifting things start to come down communication becomes more measured the less hostile they can look at one another in the i. can with the perspective

they leave with a plan they've agreed on a specific new approach for example and there's a positive side effect they also learn new ways to cope with conflict and take that with them they're more likely to seek one another out and talk things through than before they came to mediation. whatever gets all the time that. sometimes competition also erupts between different values what is more important clean energy or the preservation of a rare species of animals in germany's state of lower saxony where heavily subsidize wind energy has become an important industry a tiny that is threatening the green business model of a window energy provider. brisk wind is blowing across this field in northern germany bill him then bats wants to

show me where he'd like to set up a wind farm turbines would be enough to provide energy for a small town but authorisation was denying the reason species conservation and that's what happened the gold ring five is according to the german nature conservation agency the european golden plover is under threat. that's nearly died out in the state of lower saxony the conservation agency believes the plover may return to the area. these are full but there hasn't been a sighting and at least a decade on. a permanent was granted for another field just a few hundred metres away. this is what a wind farm like this worth i don't really like to talk about money and spurs and you know so it's good business losing started or the wind is so strong at this particular location that it's certainly worth the investment it's generating decent

profits for the people and property owners who have a stake in the operation. but even greater profits could be made if the turbines could constantly turn. when night falls however the bats take to the skies a rare species that has to be protected. in the business you agree it's important to switch off at night for the bands. well it's definitely not good for our business. the turbines have to be switched off for as much as a thousand dollars a year. and that means they're standing still about twelve percent of the time. their beds thinks conservationists in germany are taking things a little too far one come the food in full can't protect every. birds have to protect the species the focus should not be on individual animals that might fly into a turbine and lots of birds are killed in traffic but no one leaves their car parked

in the garage as a result. of just one breeding pair of a species survives then surely the birds are bad should be protected in order to protect the species or do you see things differently. it's an old argument is used to justify protecting the battery namely that there aren't many of them but it's been our experience that there are bats and everyone farm and that everyone farmhouse to shut down periodically because of bats in other words they're so numerous it's ridiculous to claim every single one has to be protected just the same especially where animals are given preferential treatment when farmers one in particular. have already cost us three turbines at another location we weren't permitted to build them because a colony was settled there. conflicts like these divide the environmental movement because wind turbine manufacturers and operators consider themselves and veyron

mentalists to. giving up on the windy field and is even prepared to take the case to court if the radar plover isn't spotted soon there could be a new wind turbine spinning here in the near future. well that's it for me of the team made in germany hope you enjoy.
