      <subfield code="a">Ciba-Geigy, Switzerland's largest chemical and pharmaceutical group, is halfway through a programme of radical culture change known as "Vision 2000". This is party geared to the altered values of society, including the environmental revolution and attitudes towards the chemical industry. Economic pressures and the need to revitalize corporate attitudes also played a key role, as explained here by president and chief operating officer Heini Lippuner. The principal change mechanism was to regroup the divisions around three "pillar" businesses (earmarked for investment as future pillars), and to encourage more initiative under Robert Waterman's concept of "directed autonomy". This strategy has been "cascaded" through the global organization by travelling seminars.
