Equally important is the ability to do this reliably and efficiently when the stress of limited resources and short-term needs threat-ens to compromise.

“The Delfi brand was introduced in the 1980’s and became well-known throughout Europe and Asia for its quality and taste. But, today’s global-brand competition issued

more dynamic presence that consumers still recognize as their own.”
