The impending bankruptcy of the Anthroposophical Society - fate or sabotage? The numbers speak for themselves: The company is financially Anthoposophische with their backs to the wall (the financial report of Mr Pieterse related
here ). Is this a stroke of fate? Or rather is not a conscious or unconscious sabotage before by ignoring the reality and self-centeredness?
In ZDF would now read: WISO determined ...
And what will the detective? He finds a club that are missing from the sales of over CHF 22 million or approximately 2.5 million CHF for the year 2009 - more than 10% - and of its income including items such as unsafe on inheritances and legacies (4,6 Mio CHF = 20% of sales) and donations (2.3 million CHF = 10%) is based.
The detective digs into the history and something he finds that the situation was already very different. The association was one of the first and a third of a day in Central Europe, certainly the best known belonging to natural cosmetics manufacturers, the founder of the association was even founded with the mission to secure the financing of the club: * The company WELEDA AG.
Now our detective is suspicious. Natural beauty is one of the boom industries where good money is made. Since WELEDA surely regularly provides significant amounts into the club treasury. But - oh dear - since coming to very little. You does not seem real enough to earn this WELEDA, despite the big names and high prices of their products.
He looks at the balance sheets of natural cosmetics manufacturers. There is a also anthroposophy, who belongs to no one, that is a foundation, an idea - and he expanidert and makes good business can not afford even to provide anthroposophic medicines as a finished product that is less than 500 x demand per year: WALA. (WELEDA having regard to the lack of profitability despite the protests of many anthroposophsicher doctors in recent years, many rarely used, but often for-anthroposophic medication has been retired.) Should take the luxury of the much larger WELEDA but profits are made? What is wrong with WELEDA for now?
considered Our Detective. In such an emergency, before the club goes bankrupt, because the association would probably sell his shares if they do not regularly bring in something in the club treasury. What is so a company worth?
The detective looks at Goodwill for Natural Cosmetics manufacturers: There was such body shop at L'Oreal sells for more than 1 billion euros - more than half of them should already be worth WELEDA - or about 200 million EURO for the club - which should contribute to the restoration and long-term funding absolutely sufficient. But - the shock is larger - which he refers in WELEDA? All been sold. The entire company and loaned money based on pumped. It is unfortunately not much left, what would sell. This is also the reason that nothing goes into the club treasury - all earned money goes to the creditors.
Our detective is a good detective. He is looking on - and what he finds? In the leadership of the WELEDA he finds - typical manager. He finds people who have indulged in for decades, their personal egoism, the necessary steps in the management of ambition and competition among themselves not gone or too late with the result that for continuity and to invest the necessary funds are not deposited from reserves could be, but had to be hired.
Now our detective is certainly suspicious. Weleda is a corporation and a corporation controlled in an administrative or supervisory board, the shops, usually by the owners - including the club - is made. And he looks into the trade register extracts and place - and now it is the horror - that WELEDA the whole long years, mainly controlled themselves - no one from the club and no representatives of the other owners sat in a leading position in the Board.
And, thus, the managers of our detective WELEDA no charge. Who to watch foxes in the henhouse sent must not complain later if the chickens are dead. Those who complain manager must control themselves can be as little if the company is broke. Foxes are just foxes and managers are just managers - they can not IHER from skin.
And to crown the detective finds a hint that makes him stand your hair on end: Manager of the WELEDA are not even used by the owners, no supplement, they themselves - Co-opting the calls then anthroposophy. That there is no crow the other eye is so much aushackt well.
So the cat biting its tail. So who is responsible for the next bust?
Is it the manager of the WELEDA, the lack of control have used their power for self-expression (and use) rather than to make rich returns for the club thought?
Is it the board of the association, which is not its monitoring role and mission to fulfill?
Is it the members of the association who have willingly filled each year of their net income, the growing holes through donations and disinherited their children in favor of the association, instead of wondering why the holes are getting bigger?
The question of guilt is pointless to save, there is hardly anything, and so our detective returns back with an almost Solomonic result: no one intent can be proved as charged, it can only statuieren that the road was gone bankrupt in the single-minded for decades, and it all indicative signs were ignored, with admirable consistency.
can in the older posts of this blog understand a few stops on the way in the collapse (if not visible, click to the bottom of "Home") and also see that the excuse "we have it so can not know" not true - at least from me the instructions were communicated often and intensively.
postscript: I have not commented on the last Christmas "Christmas letter" (fundraising) by Mr Pieterse. It will eventually become routine, even if he is a admirable Talent has to swear every year the unique urgency of the situation to generate donations. When the Christmas donations, but not even enough to Easter, it is critical - must now think of poor Mr. Pieterse every month a new letter?
