The European market presents numerous opportunities and at the same time challenges for business enterprises. In this anthology, lecturers and researchers at Saarland University's Europa-Institut expound on the latest findings and trends of their most important research topics. They discuss the present state of the art in European management, focusing on the areas of marketing & commerce and organisation & human resource management.
The structure of this book ist modelled on that of the first two volumes, the underlying concept of which has shaped the face of business teaching and resarch at the Europa-Institut in SaarbrΓΌcken. Important environmental changes are identified and analysed from an outside-inside perspective, and are taken as a basis for formulating strategic competitive directions. The inside-outside perspective considers enterprises from the point of view of their organisation and human resources.
