Reasons for Frequent Failure in Mergers and Acquisitions : A Comprehensive Analysis Straub, Thomas Deutscher Universitätsverlag, Springer Nature, [Place of publication not identified], 2007

Despite the goal of performance improvement, results from mergers and acquisitions (M & A) are often disappointing. Numerous empirical studies show high failure rates of M & A deals. Studies are mostly focused on individual determinants. The literature therefore lacks a more comprehensive framework that includes different perspectives. Using four statistical methods, Thomas Straub shows that M & A performance is a multi-dimensional function. For a successful deal, the following key success factors should be taken into account: - Strategic logic which is reflected by six determinants: market similarities, market complementarities, operational similarities, operational complementarities, market power, and purchasing power. - Organizational integration which is reflected by three determinants: acquisition experience, relative size, cultural compatibility. - Financial / price perspective which is reflected by three determinants: acquisition premium, bidding process, and due diligence. All 12 variables are presumed to affect performance either positively or negatively. Post-M & A performance is measured by synergy realization, relative performance (compared to competition), and absolute performance

Reasons for Frequent Failure in Mergers and Acquisitions : A Comprehensive Analysis Thomas Straub (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag, 10.1007/97, 2007

This is an important book. The topic is important, and Dr. Straub approaches it with a new approach. In fact, one could say that the book's importance stems from its lack of disciplinary focus, relying instead on a holistic understanding of the phenomenon. Too often, academic research is pursued within a narrowly defined academic “field”, necessarily blinding researchers to realities whose essence is inter-disciplinary. This is typically the case with research on Mergers & Acquisitions, making most of the “findings” relatively unimportant for practice. Yet M&A are a crucial part of business development. It is evident that companies'long-term success is at least partially dependent on their strategic actions. And these are often shaped in practice by merger and acquisition activity. Thus phenomena as varied as globalization, value-chain optimization, or product diversification are often implemented as M&A operations. In no few cases, M&A activity constitutes the company's strategy. If, as noted above, strategic moves do have an impact on lo- term success, it follows that M&A activities are at the core of many business successes... and failures. As such, they play an important role in the development of the whole society: wealth is created (or destroyed) mostly by companies. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the phenomenon is its very high failure rate.

B-to-B Electronic Marketplaces: Successful Introduction in the Chemical Industry (Business-to-Business-Marketing) Evi Hartmann (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag : Imprint: Deutscher Universitätsverlag, Business-to-Business-Marketing, 1st ed. 2002, Wiesbaden, 2002

The introduction of the internet originated not only the establishment of an alternative channel for the marketing and selling of products, but even more importantly, it serves as a platform to set up B-to-B E-marketplaces. This development enables buyers and sellers to innovate entire business processes. However, in order to gain sustainable and tangible success, a company needs to thoughtfully analyze the different concepts of B-to-B E-marketplaces as there are many examples where the introduction of such marketplaces had non-intended negative consequences. Evi Hartmann discusses the following research questions: What is the relation between a given purchase situation and the characteristics of a B-to-B E-marketplace? Can a fit between the two be defined from a relationship perspective? How does the interplay between the purchase situation and the B-to-B E-marketplace characteristics influence the success of a supplier relationship? The author presents a theoretical framework, which has been empirically tested in the German chemical industry, illustrates the managerial implications and shows the necessity of future research.

The Predictabilty Of German Stock Returns (empirische Finanzmarktforschung/empirical Finance) Judith Klähn (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag : Imprint: Deutscher Universitätsverlag, Empirische Finanzmarktforschung / Empirical Finance, 1, 2000

Extensive literature investigates the predictability of U.S. equity returns. This does not imply, however, that the results are equally valid for the German equity market. Judith Klähn's central theory is that the German stock market is not comparable to Wall Street. She proves that some of the most important variables in predicting U.S. equity returns are not significant for the German stock market. The author shows that the composition of Germany's investor base plays an important role, and she outlines the variables crucial for the German stock market.

Global Stock Markets : Expected Returns, Consumption, and the Business Cycle Wolfgang Drobetz (auth.) Deutscher Universitäts Verlag, 1st ed. 2000, Wiesbaden, 2000

Stock investments have become increasingly international, but only recently a deeper theoretical understanding of the forces influencing global stock market returns has been gained from empirical studies. This is a crucial issue for asset managers in order to control the risks and exposures of global stock portfolios successfully. Wolfgang Drobetz provides empirical evidence on the time variation of expected stock returns over the stages of the business cycle: If the time variation in expected returns is rational, driven by shocks to taste or technology, the variation in expected returns should be related to variation in consumption, investment, and savings. Testing both stochastic discount factor models and beta pricing models, the author finds that predictability of stock returns is perfectly consistent with the concept of market efficiency, and stock prices need not follow a random walk.

Brand Strength: Building and Testing Models Based on Experiential Information (Forschungsgruppe Konsum und Verhalten) Martin G. Walser (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag : Imprint: Deutscher Universitätsverlag, Gabler Edition Wissenschaft : Forschungsgruppe Konsum und Verhalten, 1. Aufl, Wiesbaden, 2004

As brands have developed an image as an integral, beneficial part of products and services, the evaluation of brands has become the subject of substantial research. Sparked by the strong interest in measuring the financial value of brands, numerous attempts to assess the value of a brand from a marketing perspective have been made recently. Martin G. Walser generates a standardized scheme for describing and evaluating existing approaches to measure the strength of a brand. On this basis, the author contributes to the as yet limited scientific research into the formation of brand strength by breaking with the well established "advertising paradigm", which postulates that strong brands are above all the result of advertising. Instead, he focuses on "experiential information", i.e. the consumers' experience with the brand, as a main source of brand strength. An empirical study supports the author's conceptual model and invites both researchers and practitioners to take into consideration the consumers' experience more explicitly. Das Werk wurde mit dem Nestlé-Preis für Wirtschaftswissenschaften 2001 und mit dem Preis der Wirtschaftskammer Tirol 2001 ausgezeichnet.

Inside The Knowledge Factory: Organizational Change In Business Schools In Germany, Sweden And The U.s.a. (wirtschaftswissenschaften) Heinke Röbken (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag : Imprint: Deutscher Universitätsverlag, Wirtschaftswissenschaften, 1st ed. 2004, Wiesbaden, 2004

For the last centuries higher education institutions have been very enduring organizations. Nevertheless, they are now forced to rethink their strategies because of changes in their institutional environment. Heinke Röbken analyses how American, German and Swedish universities - and particularly business schools - deal with the various expectations they are confronted with. She shows, how higher management education institutions change and how they translate demands from their institutional environment (e.g. from business recruiters, academia or government) into their internal organizational structures. On the basis of neo-institutional theory the author argues that a form of "institutional schizophrenia" can help institutions to comply with external demands without compromising the pursuit of academic reputation which is essential for their inner stability.

During the venture capital boom, the use of Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) reached unprecedented levels, but it has been going down fast recently. Timo B. Poser discusses the question if Corporate Venture Capital has the potential to create a lasting impact on the investing company's success. Based on the resource-based view of competitive advantage, he develops a conceptual CVC-Impact-Model and tests its applicability in four case studies. The author shows that Corporate Venture Capital offers a broad set of advantages, but has a limited impact on sustainable competitive advantage of the investing firm.

Public Private Partnership For Urban Rail Transit: Forms, Regulatory Conditions, Participants (baubetriebswirtschaftslehre Und Infrastrukturmanagement) Joachim Schneider (auth.) Deutscher Universitäts Verlag, Baubetriebswirtschaftslehre und Infrastrukturmanagement, 1st ed. 2004, Wiesbaden, 2004

As a result of longlasting budgetary problems, public investments are gradually diminishing. This lack of public investments on the local, national and supranational level endangers economic development, especially in the transport field. Public Private Partnerships (PPP) have been advocated as a means to overcome this dead end, but the results were not always satisfactory. Based on a broad definition of PPP, Joachim Schneider investigates the development of urban and regional rail transport infrastructure in the US and the UK and asks the following questions: Which forms of public private co-operation exist? Which are of particular interest from a German and European perspective? Which legal and organisational conditions as well as budgetary, subsidy- and procurement-rules have contributed to positive or negative results? The author shows that the most relevant examples in the USA involve private real estate developers handling urban development projects around urban and regional rail stops. The most promising examples in the UK are privately built and operated Light Rail systems. In order to successfully transfer and implement this experience, it is crucial to create an adequate institutional frame and to foster a culture of co-operation between the public and the private sector.

Competition in Credit Markets : A Theoretic Analysis Michael Tröge (auth.) Deutscher Universitäts Verlag, 10.1007/97, 2001

Since the 1960's, the foundations of finance have either been pure arbitrage or principal agent relationships. This study leaves the Modigliani -Miller world of pure arbitrage -but not the world of equilibria -and turns the principal-agent world upside down. Here the firrns become principals again and banks become agents in the original sense of the word: they act on an auction market. This new view of credit relationships yields a number of interesting insights. In my opinion the most important result is that too close relationships between banks and their borrowers will reduce credit market competition. Michael Tröge thus gives an antitrust reason for the Iimitation of bank involvement in non financial firms. This is not a very relevant issue in the United States where legal responsibility already makes it difficult for banks to inßuence the decisions of the firm. However, in continental Europe, close relationships between banks and firms are widespread and its effects on firrns are subject to a large debate. The author investigates in a first step the impact of the banks' information ahout borrower quality on the competitiveness of the credit market. Precise in formation about the credit quality can yield a competitive advantage for the bank but it does not come without cost. Tröge endogenizes the amount of informa tion acquired in a strategic duopoly and obtains two key results: He first shows that too many banks can lead to excessive spending on information acquisition.

Impact of Institutions on Lending : Informal Constraints and Enforcement of Bank Regulation in Mongolia Chuluunbaatar Enkhzaya (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag, Wirtschaftswissenschaft, 1. Aufl, Wiesbaden, 2006

In the 1990s an unprecedented transformation of the economic co-ordination of economies in transition was set in motion. As the reforms neither considered the time needed to establish the market nor dealt with the process itself, microeconomic reforms aimed at establishing the market and at inducing market-oriented behaviour need to be adjusted. Chuluunbaatar Enkhzaya examines the "inadequate" behaviour of banks in Mongolia by analysing the institutional framework of the banking system, especially in lending. She focuses on the genesis of informal institutions of lending and their interaction with formal institutions of lending. Herewith, informal institutions such as the attitude to risk were indirectly observed by diagnosing the "action-regulating" knowledge of bankers. In order to ensure an effective allocation of the scarce financial resources of Mongolia the author therefore suggests a change - as simultaneous as possible - of formal and informal rules.

Competition for Order Flow and the Theory of Global Games: The impact of alternative trading systems on securities markets (German Edition) Jutta A. Dönges (auth.) Deutscher Universitäts Verlag, Gabler Edition Wissenschaft, 1. Aufl, Wiesbaden, Wiesbaden, 2001

The proliferation of alternative trading systems has increased competition for order flow in financial markets significantly and renewed the debate on fragmentation versus consolidation. Market microstructure models that analyze liquidity-based intermarket competition typically exhibit multiple equilibria, making it difficult to determine whether fragmentation or consolidation of order flow will occur. Jutta A. Dönges applies the recently developed theory of global games that reduces multiplicity of equilibria in coordination games to a model of intermarket competition and demonstrates the existence of a unique equilibrium under fairly general conditions. The author investigates whether and under which circumstances alternative trading systems, particularly crossing networks, can co-exist with established markets or even replace them and explores how the introduction of a crossing network affects both monopolistic and competitive dealer markets and the market participants' behavior.

Competition in credit markets : a theoretical analysis Michael Tröge (auth.) Deutscher Universitäts Verlag, Beiträge zur betriebswirtschaftlichen Forschung 94, 1, 2001

Competition in credit markets is different from competition in simple product markets. The allocation of capital is not only determined by its price, but banks actively decide to whom they will provide finance. In addition, the provision of credit is not a spot transaction, but extends over a certain period of time. Banks need to acquire information in order to efficiently screen borrowers before providing credit and to monitor them during the credit relationship to make sure that the credit will be paid back. Michael Tröge develops game-theoretic and auction-theoretic models for the strategic interaction of banks in the credit market. He shows that in narrow oligopolies only one bank will carry out detailed creditworthyness tests for a firm and that in very competitive markets information about a borrower ́s quality can reduce a bank ́s profit. The author also points out that equity ownership of a bank increases the expected interest rates for a firm and that a bank ́s concern for a good reputation may lead to credit rationing. .

Market Entry Strategies in Eastern Europe in the Context of the European Union : An Empirical Research Into German Firms Entering the Polish Market Michael Klug (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag, 10.1007/97, 2006

There are many reasons why firms decide to extend their business operations by entering foreign markets. Whether it is a defensive step aimed at avoiding the consequences of saturating domestic markets or an offensive strategy based on the expectations of unusual profits, the most common market entry drivers are widely discussed and understood. What remains open is the most intriguing question of the selection of a particular market entry mode and the factors determining the right choice. On a theoretical ground the problem may be reduced to the issue of how many links of the Value Chain should be moved abroad in the process of international expansion. In practical terms the choice of a market-entry mode means a set of decisions taken in each particular case of a firm going international. The complexity of the task involves many different areas like the amount of risk, the scope of control, the level of capital involvement and financial efficiency. This is one of the reasons why there is no universal theory explaining the optimal way of making a successful market entry. The multitude of views on this subject does not make the question easier.

Service Quality and Management || Paul Kunst, Jos Lemmink, Bernd Stauss (auth.), Paul Kunst, Jos Lemmink, Bernd Stauss (eds.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag, 10.1007/97, 1999

Introduction Are services millennium-proof? Certainly not. At least not at this moment. There is no thorough research needed to derive that conclusion, simply ask around. The evi dence is overwhelming. True horror stories exist of all types of services in all types of sectors. It is even becoming a business in itself. Television shows that are based on customer complaints about services are becoming more and more popular. As is the case in the millennium problem, management of service companies experiences a lot of problems in the hardware and the software of services. There are still prob lems in defining and developing the service, and problems in creating, realizing and managing weil defined services. Is there than no progress at all? We believe there iso The enormous attention for services has its advantages as weil. In various places innovations are realized, and what is more important are linked to theory. Only in this way learning becomes pos sible. Eventually innovative practice will reflect in the development of theory, and in turn good practice will be based on solid theory. This series tries to support this pro cess by presenting a number of innovative practices, and examples of testing theory in service quality marketing and management.

Portfolio Strategies of Private Equity Firms: Theory and Evidence (Innovation und Entrepreneurship) Ulrich Lossen (auth.) Deutscher Universitäts-Verlag | GWV Fachverlage GmbH, Wiesbaden, Innovation und Entrepreneurship, 1st ed. 2007, Wiesbaden, Wiesbaden, 2007

Driven by the convergence of international financial public markets, investors around the globe are searching for alternative asset classes which enable diversification of their portfolios while earning attractive returns. Private equity, denominating equity investments in privately held companies, promises to meet both criteria. As a result, over the last three decades, private equity has become an important ingredient in the portfolios of institutional investors, such as banks, insurance companies, and pension funds. Ulrich Lossen explores the choice of portfolio strategies by private equity firms and the impact of this choice on funds’ performance. Therefore, he applies advanced econometric methods to a unique data set of private equity funds. In a first step, he analyzes the influence of external factors on the choice of private equity firms to diversify their portfolios across different dimensions, such as financing stages, industries, and geographic regions. Then, he examines the impact of such diversification on private equity funds’ performance. The findings can help investors and private equity managers in making proper investment decisions.

Trust within Organizations of the New Economy: A Cross-Industrial Study (International Management Studies) Marco Tulio Zanini (auth.) Deutscher Universitäts-Verlag | GWV Fachverlage GmbH, Wiesbaden; Deutscher Universitäts-Verlag, 1, 2007

The role of trust in governing institutions has been disputed for years. Increasing uncertainty and people’s personal concerns about future perspectives seem to have created an increasing need for what we call trust. Simultaneously, the same uncertainty that induces this increased demand for trust seems to be undermining it. Marco Tulio Zanini examines the effects of different industry-specific institutional framework constraints on the level of trust within business organizations, particularly the possible differences in old and new economy. Based on the results of a survey carried out in seven major companies from different sectors of the Brazilian economy, the author shows that trust is more likely to be found in relatively stable, hierarchical and bureaucratic organizations whereas there is comparatively little trust in new economy firms.

The long term fertilization trials in Halle (Saale), Germany : a tool for sustainable and environmentally compatible land management ; contributions of plant nutrition science in Halle 13 Wolfgang Merbach, Annette Deubel (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag; Wolfgang Merbach, Teubner research, 2nd revised edition, Wiesbaden, 2007

Due to their buffer capacity, soils and ecological systems usually react gradually to different land use or climatic changes. Hence, effects are often quantifiable only after many decades. Long-term field experiments make it possible to recognize such long-term effects, which are caused e.g. by different fertilization treatments, for the respective location. This knowledge is essential for developing sustainable and ecologically desirable management concepts. With the “eternal rye” experiment, laid out by Julius Kühn in 1878, the Institute of Agricultural and Nutritional Sciences of the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg has the second oldest long-term fertilization trial of the world after Rothamstedt (UK). In addition, four more long-term fertilization experiments as well as one soil development trial exist in Halle, all founded by Karl Schmalfuß in 1948/49. Wolfgang Merbach and Annette Deubel summarize the most important results and draw conclusions for the continuation of these internationally important experiments.

Equity Financing and Covenants in Venture Capital: An Augmented Contracting Approach to Optimal German Contract Design (ebs-Forschung, Schriftenreihe ... BUSINESS SCHOOL Schloß Reichartshausen (58)) Karoline Jung-Senssfelder (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag, Ebs-Forschung - Schriftenreihe der European Business School Schloss Reichartshausen, 58, 1. Aufl, Wiesbaden, 2006

Venture capital contracts define the rules of the investment for the venture capitalist and the portfolio company. They therefore have the potential to impact the success of the business and the venture capitalist's return. For this reason, contracts have recently attracted great research interest. Karoline Jung-Senssfelder presents the first augmented contracting analysis, focusing on the interaction of both, financial instruments and covenants, in the creation of incentives to the contracting parties. With a focus on the German market, she integrates the findings of her model-based theoretical and survey-based empirical analyses to derive value-adding implications for an incentive-compatible contract design in the German venture capital market.

Complexity in New Product Development : Mastering the Dynamics of Engineering Projects Jürgen Mihm (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag : Imprint: Deutscher Universitätsverlag, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2003, PS, 2003

In organizational theory the coordination of many interdependent actors in complex product development projects is recognized as a key activity. With increasing project compexity this coordination becomes more and more difficult, and it is not yet known whether this effect can be controlled by frequent and intense communication among project members. Jürgen Mihm analyzes which factors create complexity in engineering projects and how the negative effects of complexity can be mitigated. He builds a mathematical model of a complex distributed design project demonstrating how complexity inevitably arises from the interaction of simple components. He characterizes the dynamic behavior of the system analytically and with the aid of simulations, and he derives classes of managerial actions to improve performance dynamics.

Public Governance and Leadership : Political and Managerial Problems in Making Public Governance Changes the Driver for Re-Constituting Leadership Rainer Koch, John Dixon (auth.), Univ.-Prof. Dr. Rainer Koch, Prof. John Dixon (eds.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag; Deutscher Universitäts-Verlag, Gabler Edition Wissenschaft, 1. Aufl, Wiesbaden, 2007

Globalisation-driven demands to increase efficiency and effectiveness require nearly all OECD member states to strategically modernise their management of state and administration. In this book, internationally renowned scholars and practitioners elaborate on political as well as managerial questions, as how to make overriding Public Governance changes the {u2019}guiding model{u2019} for a now needed stronger strategic approach. More specifically, their focus is on how moves towards a re-positioning as an enabling authority are to be made drivers for adapting management systems across all levels. In accordance with present developments, the authors explain how changes in the overall governance structure have to be used to adapt leadership practices in a more output-oriented or even entrepreneurial fashion. Overall, the underlying idea is to provide some further basics for a public sector type of a design-oriented management science

Strategic Purchasing and Supply Management : A Strategy-Based Selection of Suppliers Roger Moser (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag, Gabler Edition Wissenschaft, 1st ed. 2007, Wiesbaden, 2007

Purchasing and Supply Management (PSM) is still not considered a strategic function in many companies although on average more than half of a company’s value proposition stems from its suppliers. In today’s economy, companies which neglect the strategic management of their supply base fall behind their competitors. In many boardrooms, PSM is currently on top of the agenda. However, PSM can only create the advantages necessary to stay ahead of the competition when a company’s supply base is managed according to its overall strategic objectives. Roger Moser analyses the relationships between business priorities and PSM strategy and shows in detail how business strategies influence PSM, in particular supplier selection. He shows how a strategy-based selection of suppliers can generate competitive advantages in PSM and for the company. His work contributes to a research stream which aims at integrating PSM more closely into strategic management. Furthermore, the author develops a PSM strategy concept which enables supply managers to break down strategic priorities from a business strategy level to a PSM level and to define appropriate actions when dealing with suppliers, supply markets and internal customers.

Strategic Management in Islamic Finance Alexander von Pock (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag; Deutscher Universitatsverlag; Deutscher Universitäts-Verlag, 1st ed. 2007, Wiesbaden, 2007

During the last decades, Islamic finance has evolved to become one of the most dynamic and fast developing business areas in the global financial industry. Although still a niche market, the segment is experiencing ever increasing competition and, especially in recent years, has left its home turf with Islamic financial products being offered in major markets outside the Muslim world, such as the United States and Great Britain. Alexander von Pock develops a holistic conceptual framework for identifying and testing key success factors of Islamic financial institutions. The framework integrates insights into the current practices of Islamic finance, a variety of theories {u2013} namely the market-based view, the resource-based view, and, to some extent, New Institutional Economics approaches {u2013} as well as previous research from the fields of strategic management and economics. The author is testing the theoretical framework empirically in a survey of 36 major Islamic financial institutions based in the Gulf Cooperation Council area and in Malaysia

Management of Regulatory Influences on Corporate Strategy and Structure Sebastian Frankenberger (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag, 1st ed. 2006, Wiesbaden, 2006

In many industries, e.g. telecommunications, transportation, energy, chemicals, food and beverages, firm performance is heavily influenced by regulation. Despite this fact, strategic management research has traditionally focused on market strategies and related issues. Questions of how to manage regulatory involvement have been left to separate research streams on corporate political activity and a broader understanding of the complex inter-dependencies and mutual influences between corporate and external actors remains lacking. Sebastian Frankenberger examines how to integrate external actors, regulatory actors in particular, into the strategy formation process. Based on a longitudinal, retrospective case study on the German energy utility E.ON., he analyses how regulatory actors influence corporate strategies and structures and how corporations may proactively manage regulatory involvement. He presents a theoretical framework that integrates market and political strategies and shows how corporations may influence institutional processes that impact their scope of operations. He also suggests options how management can navigate their business within institutional boundaries and how market and political strategies may be coordinated.

United States And European Union Auditor Independence Regulation: Implications For Regulators And Auditing Practice (forschungsreihe Rechnungslegung Und Steuern) Christiane Strohm (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag : Imprint: Deutscher Universitätsverlag, Forschungsreihe Rechnungslegung und Steuern, 1st ed. 2006, Wiesbaden, 2006

In recent years, the Sarbanes-Oxley-Act has received international attention unlike few other laws. The rules presented in this act take influence on business practice and dominate the ongoing discussion on business constitution in the USA as well as in Europe. Christiane Strohm investigates the effects of the Sarbanes-Oxley-Act and the revised 8th EU-Directive on auditing. The results of her first experiment indicate that there is a difference in the communication and safeguarding effects of a regulation, depending on the precision of its wording. Findings of her second experiment show that safeguarding effects also depend on auditors' monetary incentives and on perceived costs of litigation. The author also tests the effectiveness of a transparency report which is proposed by the European Union. The most important safeguards (policies and procedures) are perceived to be quality assurance, internal quality controls and independence practice and compliance.

Myths, Narratives and the Dilemma of Managerial Support : Organizational Learning As an Alternative? Alexander Dreiling (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag : Imprint: Deutscher Universitätsverlag, Gabler Edition Wissenschaft, 1st ed. 2007, Wiesbaden, 2007

With the advent of modern organization science, management science, computer science, and information science, the provision of information to the management of organizations has become a central object of investigation. The “right” information at the “right” time is typically perceived as being of paramount importance for managing an organization properly. Alexander Dreiling investigates which information should be provided to management in order to prepare managers to make better decisions and act accordingly. Based upon Argyris' and Schön's theory of organizational learning, managers are continuously supplied with information on the basis of whether and how well they have achieved their objectives. If they detect a mismatch of expectations and outcomes, they can in turn adjust their actions. The author first introduces the learning concept, before he turns to developing a method which can be used in order to create “paradigmatically different” managerial reporting environments. The three case studies reveal application scenarios as well as limits of the method.

Country-compatible Incentive Design: A Comparision Of Employees' Performance Reward Preferences In Germany And The Usa (international Management Studies) Marjaana Gunkel (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag, Gabler Edition Wissenschaft, 1st ed. 2006, Wiesbaden, 2006

Today's managers are facing challenges that stem from overseeing a workforce in foreign countries. The question arises how to compensate and motivate employees in different countries effectively and efficiently. Based on an empirical study among employees of a multinational corporation (MNC) in Germany and the USA, Marjaana Gunkel shows that the employees in these countries have different preferences regarding incentives and that incentive plans designed for one country are not always effective in others. Money is an important motivator in both countries, but the motivational effects of non-monetary rewards differ greatly. In addition, the author presents an explorative study of employee groups in China and Japan and gives advice for designing appropriate compensation schemes for employees of MNC in different countries.

Der Markterfolg eines Produktes hängt davon ab, wie gut es die Bedürfnisse der Konsumenten erfüllt. Obwohl diese Tatsache allgemein bekannt ist, erfüllen viele Neuprodukte die Absatzerwartungen nicht. Grund dafür ist, dass die zuverlässige Erkennung von Kundenbedürfnissen in Konsumgütermärkten sehr aufwändig ist. Der Einsatz von Methoden der virtuellen Kundeneinbindung, also der Nutzung des Internets zur Einbindung von Konsumenten in die Produktentwicklung durch ein Unternehmen, kann Abhilfe schaffen. Konsumenten können so in großer Zahl an der Entwicklung von Produktideen beteiligt werden. Jan Henrik Soll entwickelt eine Methode, wie Unternehmen systematisch Kundenbedürfnisse aufdecken und Ideen für neue Produkte gewinnen können. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf der Frage, welche Eigenschaften Konsumenten haben, die wertvolle Produktideen übermitteln. Es wird gezeigt, dass nicht nur Lead User besonders gute Beiträge leisten können.

Ein effizient organisiertes Working Capital-Management stellt einen integralen Bestandteil der Strategie zur Steigerung des Unternehmenswertes dar. Unternehmen geraten zunehmend unter Druck, sich auf interne Kostensenkungspotenziale und Performanceverbesserungen im Bereich des Working Capitals zu konzentrieren. Christian A. Meyer entwickelt ein Working Capital-Management-Referenzmodell und analysiert Working Capital-Ansätze von sechs Großunternehmen aus der chemischen Industrie. Die Ergebnisse zeigen Performanceunterschiede zwischen den Unternehmen, die auf Ineffizienzen des Working Capital-Managements hinweisen. Daraus lassen sich sowohl allgemeine Implikationen für das Management des Working Capitals als auch prozessspezifische Handlungsempfehlungen für das Management der Forderungen und Verbindlichkeiten aus Lieferungen und Leistungen in der Unternehmenspraxis ableiten.

Föderalismus und Naturschutz: Anatomie eines Spannungsfelds (German Edition) Axel Volkery Deutscher Universitätsverlag, Springer Nature, Wiesbaden, 2007

Der Schutz der biologischen Vielfalt ist neben dem Klimawandel die zentrale umweltpolitische Herausforderung dieses Jahrhunderts. Eine effektive Naturschutzpolitik, die internationalen Vorgaben erfolgreich Rechnung trägt, wird in Deutschland aber immer wieder durch die föderale Politikverflechtung von Bund und Ländern behindert. Zwar wurde das Bundesnaturschutzrecht im Jahre 2002 umfassend modernisiert, doch zeigt Axel Volkery, dass • trotz guter Ansätze viele Problemstellungen nicht richtig angegangen werden und die rechtliche Umsetzung in den Bundesländern defizitär ausfällt, • der Spielraum für Reformen in der Politikverflechtung strukturell begrenzt und die Stärkung der Kompetenzen des Bundes notwendig ist und • die jüngst vorgenommene Neuregelung der Kompetenzen von Bund und Ländern im Naturschutz die notwendige Leistungssteigerung erschweren wird.

Familienunternehmen und Publikumsgesellschaft: Führungsstrukturen, Strategien und betriebliche Funktionen im Vergleich (German Edition) Caspar von Andreae. Mit einem Geleitw. von Walter Paul Deutscher Universitätsverlag, Springer Nature, Wiesbaden, 2007

Das Familienunternehmen galt in der Betriebswirtschaftslehre lange Zeit als Auslaufmodell, die Publikumsgesellschaft hingegen als Zukunftsmodell. Erst jüngere Forschungsbemühungen deuten darauf hin, dass eigentümergeführte Unternehmen nicht minder erfolgreich auf den internationalen Märkten agieren. Bislang fehlt es jedoch an einer systematischen Gegenüberstellung der beiden Unternehmenstypen. Caspar von Andreae bedient sich zunächst der Prinzipal-Agenten-Theorie, um Familien- und Publikumsgesellschaften sinnvoll voneinander abzugrenzen und vergleicht die beiden Organisationsformen hinsichtlich der Ausgestaltung von Führungsstruktur, strategischem Management und betrieblichen Funktionen. Dabei steht die ökonomische Bewertung der identifizierten Unterschiede im Vordergrund. Abschließend erweitert er die Betrachtung um die internationale Perspektive. Der Autor kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass das Zusammenfallen von Eigentum und Verfügungsgewalt der Umsetzung moderner Managementmethoden teilweise sogar förderlich ist und dass Familien- und Publikumsgesellschaften aufgrund komplementärer Stärken-Schwächen-Profile intensiv von einander lernen können.

Entwicklung prozesstechnologischer Systeme in Unternehmungen (neue betriebswirtschaftliche forschung (nbf), 358) (German Edition) Karl-Andreas Zotter Deutscher Universitätsverlag, Springer Nature, Wiesbaden, 2007

Für Unternehmen, die Sachleistungen erstellen, ist ein prozesstechnologisches System eine unabdingbare Existenzgrundlage. Da Defizite in der technologischen Ausstattung oftmals mit Wettbewerbsnachteilen verbunden sind, besteht zwischen der Beherrschung von Technologie sowie deren Ausschöpfung und der ökonomischen Entwicklung von Unternehmungen ein kausaler Zusammenhang. Karl-Andreas Zotter untersucht die unternehmensinternen und -externen Faktoren, die Richtung und Geschwindigkeit prozesstechnologischer Veränderungen beeinflussen. Er entwickelt ein Konzept für ein prozesstechnologisches System auf normativer, strategischer und operativer Managementebene. Darauf aufbauend stellt er die Prozesstechnologiestrategie als integrales Element des unternehmerischen Strategiesystems dar und diskutiert Wechselwirkungen zwischen den Funktionalbereichsstrategien. Der Autor zeigt erstmals die existentielle Bedeutung der Entwicklung von Produktionssystemen für die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit produzierender Unternehmungen auf und liefert damit neue Erkenntnisse für ihre Existenzsicherung.

Teamwork for Innovation in Sub-Saharan Africa Hannah Titilayo Seriki (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag : Imprint: Deutscher Universitätsverlag, DUV Wirtschaftswissenschaft, 1. Aufl, Wiesbaden, 2007

Innovation is an essential success factor needed to ensure and extend the competitiveness of organisations. The quality of teamwork plays an important role as it determines the success of innovation teams. Whereas most insights concerning the dynamics of work groups come from North American or Western European environments, Hannah Titilayo Seriki concentrates on teams operating within the complex societal context of sub-Saharan Africa. The author develops a multi-level theory of African teams’ innovative performance and regards the team as a sub-system of the organisation, which is subjected to societal influences. She compares the insights gained from case studies in Nigeria and in South Africa with findings from two Germanic European cases. The results of her study imply that managers can actively and consciously influence the way their organisations pass on societal forces to their sub-units. Distinct differences between European and African cases are found, especially in the areas of team leadership and motivation.

Success in Changing Environments : Strategies and Key Influencing Factors Manuela Stoll (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag, Gabler Edition Wissenschaft, 1. Aufl, Wiesbaden, 2007

To ensure their long-term survival and prosperity, many industries have to deal with increasingly dynamic and complex environments. Due to this situation, they are confronted with major challenges. Manuela Stoll investigates why some firms cope with change successfully, while others do not. She focuses on two strategies to address change: adapting to change and creating change. Using a large-scale survey among top executives of manufacturing firms in Germany, she evaluates the importance of a range of resources, competences, and “isolating mechanisms” (shields against imitation) for the success of these strategies. The results show that adapting to change has an important effect on firm performance and is mainly influenced by a firm’s industry foresight abilities. A separate analysis illustrates how these abilities can be strengthened.

The Successful Use of Information in Multinational Companies: An exploratory study of individual outcomes and the influence of national culture (Research in Management Accounting & Control) Sebastian-Dominik Jais (auth.) Deutscher Universitätsverlag, Research in Management Accounting & Control, 1st ed. 2007, Wiesbaden, 2007

The recent past shows a growing interest in cultural specificities. This new-found focus has its origin in reports about corporate practices indicating that globally standardized information systems are not effective in every culture. One explanation for this observation is that information use practices vary among cultures. Based on data collected in three national subsidiaries of a multinational company, Sebastian-Dominik Jais examines the use of information in the United States, South Korea and Germany. The results indicate that differences in information use practices only exist if the type of information use is not determined externally, e.g. by technical necessity or task necessity. The author shows that the effectiveness of managerial information use is strongly related to the respective cultural environment.
