“The crisis is unprecedented that we are going through reveals the pragmatism, responsibility, and the resilience of the economic forces of our nation. Everywhere in France, the examples multiply, that show the spirit of service and solidarity of our economic actors, as well as their ability to adapt and invent new solutions. And if we had an opportunity to build the world after?
If it is up to the State to play a supportive role during the health crisis, to protect the citizens, help businesses to play their role and to avoid economic collapse, these are the companies, large and small, that will drive the implementation of a recovery plan ambitious, responsibility and solidarity.
For the avoidance of bankruptcy filings in a first time and grow more quickly in a second time, we want to act now by creating strong alliances and structured between large groups and our ecosystem of SMES in the territories. Seize the opportunity of playing as a team by leveraging the strengths of each! Germany and China are doing it, why not us?
small businesses that collaborate with a large group get more visibility on their business in the medium term can access to large-scale projects and gain credibility vis-à-vis their prospects with new references. The Major groups that work closely with SMES, are gaining in boldness, agility and quickness, the key factors of success in a time where changes are so fast. To win and do win the other, it is necessary to act quickly in adapting to the pace of decision-making to that of the smaller. Major groups and SMES do not have the same notion of time. To go fast, the big groups must accelerate their decision-making and allow the projects to be realized by preserving the CA and the cash flow of most small businesses.
It is necessary to look at SMES as partners, without seeking to integrate the know-how, or absorb the companies that develop them
Work while remaining at home, it is possible and it is the challenge of a long-lasting relationship that benefits all. It is necessary to look at SMES as partners, without seeking to integrate the know-how, or absorb the companies that develop them.
Thanks to the implementation of synergies virtuous, Large Groups can only be convinced of the need to respond to tenders in partnership with SMES, allowing them to more easily access the public order, but especially to increase their ability to enter new markets together.
The economic recovery plan and policy prepared by the Government will have to wear this essential solidarity between major groups and SMES, and this vision medium/long term, as a priority objective at the top of the, admittedly important, but secondary, market prices or the amount of dividends to be paid. Invest over the medium term, without getting trapped in the wall of the short-term, that is the challenge!
solidarity begins of course with follow the rules! The strict application of the law on payment deadlines is an indispensable foundation; each company must pay what it owes, on time, to avoid any risk of cash and deposits of balance sheet in the cascade.
Working together is assumed to know! Encourage interactions by sector between large groups and SMES, on the model of the Top Afep, which enables SMES to present to a large group to engage with partnerships.
The application of the law on payment deadlines is essential; each company must pay what it owes, on time, to avoid any risk of cash and deposits of balance sheet
Let us also be united to conquer the world, together! In export markets, “hunt in packs” by fostering collaborations between Large Companies and SMES like Germany. Operate ecosystem is the best solution, to create partnerships, help small businesses put a first foot out of the borders and attacking new markets, while ensuring trusted partners. And in professional salons, the spaces need to bring together major groups and SMES and promote the complementarity of know-how.
To ensure our independence in the strategic sectors and réindustrialiser our country, we propose to create clusters around a common project involving a large group leader and SME.
And if we were going up to change our models of governance in order to structure this assistance? There is no solidarity without exchange, and no exchange without communication. Of project governance to corporate governance; and to share our experiences, pool our strengths and our talents, we could go as far as to consider the presence of leaders of SMES and ETI in the boards of directors of large companies and vice versa.
building partnerships agile and creative confidence, with pragmatic approach, this is to grow the entire ecosystem to the benefit of all.
Supported in our approach by the Mediator of the businesses, us entrepreneurs argue that our economic forces need to fly in a squadron for a quick recovery and well-reasoned!”

This curious title reminds me of a word of cinema, pure Audiard, may be: “If the …. had wings, you would be the squadron commander”.

Call a little romantic (” synergies virtuous “, it is what it is) large groups who want to prepare public opinion for the worst, that is to say, the cascade of layoffs that will occur in the coming months. Buying local is nice but if SMES have competitive prices, it is already done. Otherwise, it will be “State aid”, as they say, to make up the difference. In these times of open bar of public finances, it is quite “reasonable” to claim. This will no doubt be the subject of the next manifesto. On the other hand, the text mentions the first wound of the relations, Large groups/SMES: the inexcusable delays in the payment of the first, sure of their impunity. We can expect that large companies, tapped by the crisis, are still more than before to this scheme to carry the weight of their funding for the most vulnerable. The first Large group that scrupulously respect the contractual commitments of payment terms it has signed with its small suppliers raises his hand. Not all at once, please.

no No it is the grief that fly in the squadron, according to Chirac, and it is gone…
But fortunately Jacob and Laggards, Macron Sibeth and the Republic to pieces, and Faure, and the Small Simplets are there to put things in order…
