Please read the mini case below and answer the questions at the end of the mini case. Auto-Technic is a small German company founded and run by an electronics engineer, Peter Schnider. He has built his small business over the past five years by undertaking subcontract work for large electronic companies. The work has mainly involved producing small control devices (Automatic switches, timers, etc.) in response to his business customers’ requests. Peter’s expertise is valued by the organizations with which he has dealt.

At a tactical level, local and regional management must work within strategic…
