about managment issues

Ein Beitrag aus der Artikelserie der Gruppe Management Forum 2000und.

Today - March 7th - one day before 100 year's celebrations - one good article in the German Handelsblatt: Thomas Heilmann wrote a long article about the "Glass Ceiling" and makes very clear: Whatever they do in the companies, the Glass Ceiling exists. And the German Corporate Government-System as such is resistant for change. In Germany the time of a board member is the longest in Europe. He also makes clear: To be member of the Board, in the German System, requires a different view of a person as required for a management position.

Today I found an article in the news about the behaviour based on social connections and incentives in the workplace. This study is academic but based on a field study on workers at a farm. So the data is more easy to analyse and also the result of the behaviour change. (Find in German: www.handelsblatt: Zu gute STimmung ist schlecht fürs Geschäft). As usual it is difficult to say, if you can compare this findings to other kind of business and if there is a chance even to compare it to gender issues - but think about it.
