What are the qualities of the company progressing year after year?

A good ship which stays on course and on schedule towards its destination needs the following

1. Good captain  (leadership)
2. Efficient and Capable crew  (employees/staff)
3. Excellent ship condition (engine and body)   (company organization and buidup)
4. Enough fuel   (Funds/Investments)
5. High quality navigational/guidance system   (Management system)

I hope this answers your question

Keeping abreast or ahead of the times in every aspect of their business. Partly due to good solid investment for the future. Investment in Research, Advertising, Marketing, Tecnology and of course the Workforce!! A successful company doesn't stand still or rest on it's merits, it continually strives to be at the forefront of which ever business it is in.
