2010 Annual Report
11
time and money in achieving the next
generation of innovation, working to do
so before anyone else. We create a strong
competitive advantage with our focus on
innovation and technology.
We will accelerate investments for future
growth in fiscal 2011, increasing incremental
strategic investments by $40 million. These
investments will focus on emerging market
penetration, innovative technology, new
products, and capital and people resources.
Our investments will accelerate growth in an
otherwise slower global growth environment.
Emerson is focused on driving higher levels of
growth through internal investments – this is
the right time to pick up the pace for stronger
levels of internal growth.
Successfully maintaining the proper balance
between meeting today’s financial needs
and designing solutions to meet the needs
of tomorrow is an essential building block
of Emerson’s growth.
Focus and Discipline
We are able to keep this balance through
a strong commitment to our manage-
ment processes and fundamental core
business strategies.
Four business imperatives at Emerson serve
as the foundation for steady growth and
drive our organization: (1) strengthen
business platforms, (2) pursue technology
leadership, (3) globalize assets and
(4) drive business efficiency.
