Rolls-Royce: the story of a high value business

Rolls-Royce is recognised as a high value business - and is seen by many as a champion of what businesses like ours contribute to the societies and economies in which we operate.

High value businesses create wealth – providing access to global markets through developing new technologies. Companies in a range of high value sectors share a number of similar characteristics:

• Producing high performance products
• Delivering high value services
• Investing significantly in high tech research and development
• Employing highly skilled people
• Drawing on – and sustaining - a global supply network
• Delivering economic value.

The materials available here aim to bring alive what that means and why it matters, using Rolls-Royce as an example. They explain not only what we do, but how we do it and what kind of company we are.

The story is relevant to politicians and policy makers, educators and students, anyone concerned about what will help us create a prosperous and sustainable future.
