Luxembourg, 30-31 October 2003 CIW CLUSTER AM LIFESTYLE - STRATEGI.ST BUSINESS IDEA: Already existing products and new marketable products can be grouped into two different set of items, according to similarities between them: 1) High-touch products: a) Consulting not software-linked b) Fast prototyping 2) High-tech products: a) Software b) Consulting software-linked c) 3D- Digitizer T-SHOE INTERACTION WITH AMs

6. Luxembourg, 30-31 October 2003 CIW CLUSTER AM LIFESTYLE - STRATEGI.ST STRUCTURE 1 BUSINESS IDEA: STRUCTURE 1 Juridical Organizational Roles / functions Current legal structure will be maintained through the same net. High-tech products (software, consulting software- linked and Digitizer 3-D) are distributed Average distributor should be bigger than now in order to assure better territory coverage. High-touch products (consulting not linked to software, fast prototyping service) are distributed directly by Inescop. Different resources will manage high-tech and high-touch products. They will operate on a paritary basis being only subject to Inescop CEO. T-SHOE INTERACTION WITH AMs

7. Luxembourg, 30-31 October 2003 CIW CLUSTER AM LIFESTYLE - STRATEGI.ST STRUCTURE 1 BUSINESS IDEA: STRUCTURE 1 +++--- No clear border-line between business and technical structures (high-touch vs high tech products) Lack of dedicated entrepreneurial energies only business-oriented Unclear profit and rewarding system Inescop-centered decision system, heavy influence of associates Risk of inefficient management of a more complex produc-system and distribution net (give-up some products/markets?) Less initial costs for structure Immediate availability of Inescop equipments, laboratory, tools etc. No newco start-up costs T-SHOE INTERACTION WITH AMs

High-tech products (software, consulting software-linked and Digitizer 3-D) are distributed through the same net.

Luxembourg, 30-31 October 2003 CIW CLUSTER AM LIFESTYLE - STRATEGI.ST STRUCTURE 2 BUSINESS IDEA: STRUCTURE 2 +++--- Start-up costs Have to co-ordinate Inescop and Newco’s activities, e.g. sell consulting no-softwares to previous software buyers from Inescop. Different “energy-degree” due to different structures managing high- tech and high-touch products: Newco X profits = Entrepreneur profits while profits from high-tech sales = Inescop profits. Need to introduce adequate rewarding system for high-tech managers... “Dedicated” resources and structure for high-touch business (consulting ns, prototyping) New entrepreneurial energies Result-driven organization T-SHOE INTERACTION WITH AMs
