Migros is working on a revolution: Will the ten regional cooperatives be abolished?
Migros is not efficient enough. A new organization is being planned in the background. Not least, the legacy of company founder Gottlieb Duttweiler could be sacrificed.
The Migros, a Swiss retail company, is planning a major restructuring effort to increase efficiency and competitiveness. The company, founded by Gottlieb Duttweiler, currently consists of 10 regional cooperatives that operate independently, but this structure is seen as a hindrance in the current market. The Migros is considering reducing the number of regional cooperatives to three or even merging them into a single entity, similar to its main competitor Coop, which made a similar move in 2001.
The company aims to simplify its operations and reduce costs, but any changes will require approval from its 2.3 million members through a vote.
