Training is also a matter of special concern as regards the Delphi'98 survey as only through this can innovations attain economic importance. I personally believe that in our sector training is even more important than R & D. I presented my own detailed views on this subject four years ago.

If companies such as Mercedes Chrysler found their own university, it then only seems a matter of course for a major flooring company to run its own school for years. In this regard our conventional vocational training system is in need of radical change. Otherwise it will be regarded by many in the future as superfluous or obsolete. The tax payer's money is wasted.
