According to the agreement, the company undertakes to collaborate with the
department for one year. As part of this collaboration, the company will participate
in the regular meetings held by the department with the companies that form
part of its research. Synthon Hispania will also have access to the department’s
online documentation centre.

Synthon Hispania is a Spanish pharmaceutical company that stands out for its excellence and experience
in corporate governance. For the third consecutive year, the company was ranked
among the 50 best medium-sized companies to work for in Spain by the Great Place
to Work Institute.

The Department of Management by Missions and Corporate
Governance, led by Dr. Carlos Rey, a professor in the Faculty of Economic and Social
Sciences, offers a new focus that enriches the traditional view of management by
objectives. It integrates missions into the management system, positions
objectives so that they serve the mission and promotes employee commitment to
it.

The department’s research was initially supported by six companies from
different industries that have committed to conducting research into this new
management model: Jiménez Maña (automotive industry), the main sponsor; Semillas Fitó
(agricultural industry); Kern Pharma (pharmaceutical industry); Aitex (textile industry); JJC Contratistas Generales (construction industry); and Industrial
Química del Nalón (chemical industry).
