Better to invest in DHR They apply DBS (similar to the Toyota Way) to all newly acquired OpCo's which drives their success

Be prepared to assume two or three roles if you remain for any period of time after the acquistion, The company really doesn't invest in R&D. The growth comes from aquisition and some new products.
