Tourier 11/14/115YC. At the end of the quartal Q3 and during the Q4, the product selection of Reclamation Technologies has been growing by 300%. Diversification has a balancing effect on the risks involved in our product basket and it is expected to induce confidence in investors.

The new products are natural extensions of our company's existing line of activities. The pricing is market based across the supply chain and they have no anti-competitive interdependencies.

Livestock continues to maintain its strong position as a consumer favorite while nanite repair paste, wetware mainframes, and drones with biological control units have just recently gained momentum as interesting, emerging products.

How are we going to respond to these exciting challenges? The keyword is organizational plasticity.

In a divisional organization, each product is handled with a distinct management silo. This strategy however suffers from redundancy and often creates communication gaps between the expert layer and the management.

In turn, a functional organization separates each function to its own silo - be it marketing, engineering, security, human resources and so on. The function managers are fully in charge of their field. They are specialists and the project teams consult their expertize when decisions are needed.

The question put forward by latter model is then how to cope with a wide variety of different products? The function managers are not experts in all the facets of each product and this can lead to confusion among the team members.

There is a way out of this dilemma. Matrix model is an innovative way to combine the best of the both worlds.

Each production factor is separated in its own silo, overseen by a function manager, and in a similar way, all the products form their own silos, each looked after by a project manager. Each functional silo intersects with each project silo exactly at one point.

In summary, to counter the increased diversification pressure, Reclamation Technologies has been reorganized into a matrix. The changes were completed on 11/13/115YC.

The changes are expected to increase the profitability of each functional silo by 17% in Q4 and this trend is expected to saturate to a minimum of 5% per quartal.

Just to be clear here, you're publishing an economic report on livestock. To the capsuleer demographic.

You're essentially running the industrial equivalent of a street stand, by which I mean your fiscal status isn't of any interest even if it is wrapped up in buzz words. By all means continue with your business ventures as they apparently keep you entertained, but don't try and pass this crap off as news worth injecting into the public domain.

Must be mighty fuckin' uncomfortable to be you. I mean, having another capsuleer's hand up your ass, all the way to your mouth.

Personally I think it's pretty impressive to see a 300% increase in the short time that RECLT has been going. From a purely personal business perspective I am rather interested in seeing the matrix that RECLT has come up with.

It's quite an efficient JIT principle you have come up with.

Our corporate press releases not only entertain but they also fill the curiosity of investors and competitors with facts.

When it comes to the economic impact of our line of agriculture, a couple of points needs to be clarified.

Although livestock forms only a small fraction of the gross intergalactic product, many people would still respectfully disagree that it is of little interest.

Because the livestock prices tend to be in the affordable range, it may appear that their impact on the economy is minor, but you have to ask why is it that the price is so low?

I would argue that this is largely a political and humanitarian decision. It stems from the wish of the people to support each other and to keep the wheels of the society turning.

Livestock is a basic product whose absence would have severe consequences for the next stages in the supply chain. It does not magically just appear on the market but someone has to grow it.

The fates and fortunes of livestock influence everyone who depend on it.
