We must be certain that, before a choice, we chose what is best for both of us and not just the best for each one. Each employee is responsible for his negotiated activity and co-responsible if the co-worker does not fulfil his own task, thus preventing the common goal. A team is a set of individuals - is a whole. In the business game, as in social or family contexts, everyone must comply with their own relative position and we shall not permit that one of ours fails to be in our team.
We argue that the economy must increasingly talk about culture, because it is the fundamental basis of creativity and imagination, which are essential for the productivity and competitiveness of any sector.
We have therefore developed our signature brand - building culture - which defines us as the main players in the Portuguese cultural market. That is where our value proposition lies, the formula for our competitiveness.
