in the increasingly fierce competition in the global medical market, in the face of more and more new "competitors", as the world's largest medical enterprises with a long history, change and transformation is an inevitable trend.
Medtron has used its scale advantage to develop adjustment strategies for Play Small and Play Big in order to respond more quickly and serve clinically more accurately.
"play small" and "play big" and "play small" will first establish a centralized, responsible and highly authorized operations unit "Operating Units".
this operation will be fully responsible for the end market, customers and therapeutic areas.

in this operating model, the person in charge of each operation, collaborating with the manufacturing cluster on the use of plant assets and personnel, will gain broad decision-making power.
while research and development will also be embedded within the operating unit, the Group will establish a Technology Development Centre (TDC) in a specific area with deep core technical capabilities and support for use by operating units.
the mission of these centers is to continuously develop and effectively share advanced technologies and capabilities across operations to promote innovation and complement their product development efforts.
these technology development centers will set ambitious goals for technology development that will be visible at the highest levels of Medtron and across operations.
