Bata in the world
Bata is a global company with activities on five continents controlled by four Meaningful Business Units (MBU). Each of these units specialises in region-specific tasks, such as product development, purchasing, or marketing support. Each MBU is an independent business entity, able to quickly adopt to market changes and/or use growth opportunities.
The strength of Bata lies in its global presence (www.bata.com). All local companies have their own management, but each of them benefits from its relationship with the multi-national organisation and its information systems, product innovation, or purchasing.
