He looked for new ways of enabling employees to share actively in the company's success. He established the maxim "No orders without explanations". The goal: a relationship based on partnership and responsibility. In the 1960s he worked in close collaboration with the Ulmer Hochschule für Gestaltung (Ulm Academy of Design). They set standards in product design. At a staff meeting in December 1970 Fritz Hahne announced a 50% profit-sharing scheme for employees to come into effect in January 1971. After he was not longer involved in the day-to-day business he was president of the Wilkhahn Board of Administration and board member of the International Design Center in Berlin from 1982 to 1994. He also was a member of the board of trustees of the Bauhaus Archive and of the German Design Council. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fritz Hahne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
