General Management and the Paths to Business Success

On the way to a successful future, a company must readjust the course it’s on again and again. We show you really useful principles that will help you achieve modern, result-oriented corporate management.

Strategic Management and Safeguarding the Future

Empirical findings, studies and long years of practical experience should help to avoid wrong strategies and strategic dead-ends, and instead ensure that your company survives long-term with above-average profits. To achieve this, steps at adaption are needed over and over again, especially in an era of digitalization.

Discontinuity and New Business Models

The biggest strategic challenges facing companies today are discontinuity and displacement processes. What usually begins harmlessly can eventually mean massive changes to industry structures. Companies that don’t adapt their business model to these, disappear from the market.

Marketing and Market Success

Profitable companies in attractive markets inspire competitors to enter the same markets. It’s important, therefore, to safeguard your existing market position through strategic and marketing concepts.

New Business and Innovation

The cash cow of the future has to first be developed and brought to market using the right launch strategy. Digitalization, Industry 4.0 and new technologies are changing the rules behind this process.

Strengths, Expertise and Competitive Advantages

The value of a company is ultimately defined by its expertise and competitive advantages. To develop these is the main task of general management.

Corporate Finance

Before a new strategy is rolled out, its financial consequences have to be thought-through carefully. What are the new strategy’s financial requirements? What are the probable effects of these on company value?

Leadership and Result-Orientation

To inspire others to achieve common goals. Communicating company vision, and from it deriving and realizing ambitious targets. And during all of this, never losing sight of what really matters – result-achievement. We show you what leadership can contribute to this process.
