Mapfre is a Insurance firm. Due to its historical past it has a posh construction, which is fixing over time and can change extra inside the (close to) future.
The major attribute of the construction is that it has been a mutual and the holding still is. In 2006 MAPFRE initiated a means of breakage down the mutual-character of the corporate's construction and wherein it reworked into a company. (Wiki on Mapfre) This cadaver to be the present construction for which the company (holding) acts as the primary stakeholder (57%) and serves as a monetary system car to assist the enterprise models.
About the enterprise:
In 2003 the return on Equity elevated to 13%, in earlier years the ROE grew from 7,9% (in 1999) to 10,1 in 2002. Funds underneath administration have been: 19,eight million euros and coverage and reinsurance premiums added as a great deal like about 5,three million euros. The distribution of workers in that 12 months was between Spain 40% and (South) America 56 %. In complete the have been 13,868 workers. It nonheritable the Road America Motor Club and Mapfre-life received de-listed from the Stock-Exchange. The chairman by that point was: Carlos Alvarez Jimenez.
In 2007 the corporate had modified some extra. Mr Domingo Sugrnyes Bickel was retired as govt president of the chief committee. Mr. Jose Manuel Martinez Martinez was chosen to be the brand new chairman. Growth has been achieved by means of acquisitions: The Mutual Valanciana was nonheritable in 2007 then was the Commmerce group (US). The strategic alliance with Caja Madrid was restructured. The distribution of Human sources: Managers 12%, Administrative 29%, Sales 13% and Technical / different 44%.
One of the primary points corset the construction of this difficult to know group. The long haul strategic alliance with Caja Madrid is likely one of the major components for the complexity of the general construction. Recently this construction has been redesigned. In the previous state of individualal business earlier than (could) 2008 there was a separate holding Mapfre-Caja Madrid (of which Caja Madrid closely-held 49 %) that took care of the life coverage and the nationwide coverage a part of the company. Also the funding department and the stock-broker department have been separate entities.
In the brand new state of individualal business these have been built-in and reside under the general Mapfre holding (of which Caja Madrid now owns 15%). Now all autonomous models (automotive, life, Real property, America and worldwide and reassurance are autonomous enterprise models.
Ignacio Hernando de Larramendi was the primary president of a coverage firm that entered the coverage Hall of Fame (1) ... (he) was a pioneer inside the improvement of the modern-day MAPFRE Corporation ... he created, inside the l970's, an early mannequin of a world insurance underwriter with a enterprise doctrine he named "specialized diversification". His profitable mannequin of "ONE stop business enterprise shopping" would later be emulated by many different corporations world wide.... dead the devotion to the event of emptor companies. He initiated many imaginative individual pleasant companies for patrons which have been later replicated by others, together with a journey help plan for motorists, habitation help packages coupled to home-owner's multi-risk coverage. (1)
But there's something else particular about this Spanish miracle. This will change into clear when evaluating MAPFRE with two different corporations: ING and AEGON, which additionally determine inside the Hall of fame: "... Mr. Jacobs (ING) has always been an advocate of making provident provender to protect policyholders. He emphasised the need for adequate provender to cover the longevity risk." (1)
"Under his wishful and creative leadership, AEGON achieved strong growth throughout the world, becoming an international company through autonomous growth but also through acquisitions, such as with Providian Corporation, Transamerica Corporation, the direct marketing services of J. C. Penney in the United States and Guardian Royal Exchange in the united Kingdom. Under Kees Storm's individualal efforts, AEGON received a license from the Chinese government to start life assurance activities in China. Mr. Storm is noted for his magnetic leadership and direction skills. He wrote a small volume called "Management with a Smile." And has said that he is convinced that pleasure and job involvement can go hand in hand. Other attributes of the Storm approach to leadership enclosed traveling to every office, reaching out and meeting people and always respecting individuality. His catchword which helped create AEGON's winner was: "Respect People, Make Money, Have Fun." (1)
Typically for either company is that ING has combined Insurance with banking, Aegon but then has ne'er developed a banking activity to support it's insurance business.
Mapfre is a company that chose a strategic right in the middle: it had developed a banking business in the eighties but that was unwinnerful. Instead it determined to setup a strategic alliance with Caja Madrid. This was the (main) responsibility of José Manuel Martinez: "... till 2000, new distribution channels have been turning into more and more related in Spain and in different European nations... MAPFRE was fast in grasping the chance when CAJA MADRID, Spain's second largest business enterprise nest egg business enterprise institution and fourth largest monetary system group, declared its willingness to debate an alliance in 2000."(1)
