MANN+HUMMEL is a VC fund in Ludwigsburg focused on Hardware and Analytics. A company of their size requires structures - as many as necessary but as few as possible, because the most important element of their organisation is individual responsibility. For us, management essentially means responsibility - something to which their managers pay particular attention. Everyone who consciously takes responsibility is amanager - of a plant, a department, a project or simply their own activities.
