3. Deutsche Bahn
Deutsche Bahn AG is the German national
railway company, a private joint stock company
headquartered in Berlin that came into existence
in 1994.
The DB group is divided into 3 Business units: DB
Bahn (passenger), DB Netze (infrastructure), DB
Schenker (logistics). These subsidiaries are
companies in their own right, although most of
them are 100% owned by DB AG.
DB has been able to combine its geographical
positions to its aggressive and conquerent
strategy by buying companies, creating joint
ventures and coopetitive relationships in order
to achieve its goal: remaining the number one in
the transportation sector.
A strong leadership culture as well as a political
support have also combined to bring about
Deutsche Bahn's influence across Europe and
across the world.
