Abstract

Goals

  • What are the hospital’s strategies from the top management?

  • Which group of employees damages the hospital deliberately?

  • What do employees need to be dedicated to a hospital?

  • How can Porter’s value chain be applied to creating a corporate identity for the hospital?

In this chapter we differentiate among corporate identity, corporate design and corporate image. This leads to the question: how can you motivate your co-workers and subordinates? The entire chapter gives you the competence to achieve a competitive advantage.
