This book explores the Complementary Management Model. Building on extensive theoretical considerations on management and leadership, it outlines the seven elements of the model: the management actors (1) jointly fulfil management tasks (2) serving two management functions (3) by performing management routines (4) and applying formal management instruments (5), which requires management resources (6) and management unit structures (7). The key mechanisms of Complementary Management include the primacy of employee self-leadership, compensatory interventions of the line manager in the absence of such self-steerage, and active roles for senior managers and HR advisors in the management/leadersh...
Living and working on board of cargo ships no longer has anything to do with the romantic notion of seafaring, as still believed by most consumers. Digitalization and globalization of logistics and supply chains have massively changed the maritime working environment. Seafarers currently find themselves in an extreme situation and suffer disproportionately on an increasing basis, from psychological stress - with severe consequences for the individual and also the diverse crew on board. The psychological stresses on board can be a challenge, leading to reduced work performance and, in the worst case, result in fatalities. Thus, mental health is becoming a relevant business factor as well as r...
Since 1987, the investigation of the relationship between female labour market behaviour and fertility, which forms part of the research programme of the Economic Institute / Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Labour Market and Distribution Issues (CIAV) of Utrecht University, also became a part of the research programme of the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI).

In this context, I acted on a suggestion made by Frans Willekens to organize an international workshop, with the help of other members of the NIDI staff and with the administrative and organizational support of the NIDI. This resulted in the...

Das klassische Marketing als eine der zentralen Unternehmensfunktionen und als unternehmerische Denkweise war in der Vergangenheit überwiegend extern, d.h. auf den Absatzrnarkt, ausgerichtet. Im Zuge eines tiefgreifenden Wandels in den verschiedenen Absatzrnärkten haben sich in Wissenschaft und Praxis zwei Entwicklungen gezeigt, die die Betrachtungsweise des Marketing wesentlich verändert haben. Erstens zeigte sich bei einer konsequenten Management- und Entscheidungsorientierung des Marketing eine deutliche Schwerpunktlegung auf die Analyse, Planung, Organisa tion und Kontrolle von marktorientierten Problemstellungen. Dagegen wurden die Im plementierungsprobleme des Marketing weitgehend v...
