The Two Sides of the Business Family
This book focuses on a central success factor for family businesses: maintaining the decision-making ability over generations while not jeopardizing the business due to family conflict, inefficient governance structures, or lack of identification. The authors identify that this is not as easy as the endeavor to bring two social systems together with contradicting logic (family and business) leads to many dangerous pitfalls. This book presents outcomes of a unique research project in which family managers of eleven of the oldest and largest German family businesses, at least the fourth generation, met for more than three years on a regular basis and presented the essence of their family gover...
Supervision in Bewegung
Supervision als berufsbezogene Beratung gerät in Bewegung angesichts der enormen Veränderungen der Arbeitswelt in der Postmoderne. Die damit ausgelöste Verunsicherung und oft auch Überforderung aktualisiert auch in der Supervision die Frage nach dem Sinn von Leben und Arbeit und weckt ein verstärktes Interesse an Spiritualität. Zugleich schreitet die Akademisierung der Supervision unaufhaltsam voran und die Ausbildung von SupervisorenInnen steht in der Spannung von Anwendungs- und Forschungsbezug. Unter anderem haben auch die neuen Erkenntnisse der Neurowissenschaften zum Lernen von Erwachsenen Auswirkungen auf Didaktik und Methodik der Supervision. Wie Supervision hierauf in Theorie und Praxis reagieren kann, zeigen die AutorInnen des Bandes eindrucksvoll. Ein wichtiges Grundlagenwerk zur Supervision.
Systemic Interventions

In this sense, conflict, problems and occurrences are viewed and treated within the social context. This comprehensive introduction contains many examples and detailed suggestions for a practical approach to directed conversation.

The Continuity and Discontinuity of the 250 Largest Enterprises in Germany

In particular, the continuities and discontinuities of the companies’ ownership structure, operations and solvency are examined.

Spaces of Dissension
This volume focusses on contradiction as a key concept in the Humanities and Social Sciences. By bringing together theoretical and empirical contributions from a broad disciplinary spectrum, the volume advances research in contradiction and on contradictory phenomena, laying the foundations for a new interdisciplinary field of research: Contradiction Studies. Dealing with linguistic phenomena, urban geographies, business economy, literary writing practices, theory of the social sciences, and language education, the contributions show that contradiction, rather than being a logical exemption in the Aristotelian sense, provides a valuable approach to many fields of socially, culturally, and historically relevant fields of research.
