World population and the number of city dwellers are steadily growing. Globalization and digitalization lead to an increased competition for skilled and creative labor and other economic resources. This is true not only for firms, but increasingly also for cities. The book elaborates on resulting challenges and opportunities for urban management from the European perspective, and discusses theories, methods and tools from business economics to cope with them. Contributions in this volume come from scholars and practitioners of economics, business administration and urban management, and cover aspects ranging from urban dynamics to city marketing. They draw on experiences from several European cities and regions, and discuss strategies to improve city performance including Open Government, Smart City, cooperation and innovation. The book project was initiated and carried out by the Center for Advanced Studies in Management (CASiM), the interdisciplinary research center of HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management. It is addressed to scholars and managers in Europe and beyond, who will benefit from the scientific rigor and useful practical insights of the book.

This book discusses current health care challenges and new strategies for innovative solutions in this area from an interdisciplinary perspective of health care management, business economics, and medicine. It presents the idea of a "boundaryless hospital", a conceptual model of a patient-centric, value-based health network that overcomes typical sectorial, organizational, and geographical boundaries and offers greater efficiency and better quality outcomes for patients. Effective health care for a growing and aging population is a major challenge for economies all over the world. New breakthroughs in medical technology and pharmaceuticals as well as digitization provide scope for more efficiency and for a better quality of health care. Novel organization forms and management concepts are key for coping with the increasing cost pressure observed in most health care systems. The contributions in this volume present innovative strategies for developing and implementing the concept of a boundaryless hospital. They highlight experiences from various countries and with different treatments. The book project was initiated and carried out by the Center for Advanced Studies in Management (CASiM), the interdisciplinary research center of HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management for business administration in the 21st century.

In the current times of more frequent crises and ever shortening innovation cycles, the management of change has become a crucial task of survival. While it is not a new topic in business research, the developments of the last decade have posed many new challenges for the change management of firms and organizations and have thus also raised many new questions for academic research in business administration, which the present book turns to deepen. Its particular focus is on disruptive change including its driving forces as well as effective and sustainable management. This publication constitutes a collection of articles that discuss change and innovation processes across different sectors of the economy (industry, banking, and retail), the role of leadership and corporate governance for the effectiveness and sustainability of organizational change.

Die Autoren fragen nach den okonomischen Grundlagen der Betriebswirtschaftslehre als Wissenschaft in Zeiten schnellen sozialen, technischen und wirtschaftlichen Wandels sowie erhohten Wettbewerbsdrucks."

Der Tod hat die Menschen von alters her geangstigt und fasziniert. Der Mensch hat ihn von je her bekampft - mit Opfern, mit Gebeten, mit medizinischer Kunst. Auch soziale Institutionen wie Unternehmen konnen den Tod erleiden. Wir kennen die Bedingungen, unter denen der Tod von Unternehmen eintritt. Sie sind zum Teil auch gesetzlich fixiert. Aber wir wissen wenig uber das 'Warum." Alfred Marshali war der Ansicht, dass Personengesellschaften sterben, weil der unter nehmerische Impuls, den die GrUndergeneration dem Unternehmen gibt, nur bis zur dritten Generation anhalt. Er war aber auch der Ansicht, dass Publikumsaktiengesell schaften nie sterben. Wir wissen heute, dass es tatsachlich einen Zusammenhang zwi schen dem Tod von Unternehmern und dem Tod von Unternehmen gibt. Manchmal ist der Tod des Unternehmers ursachlich fur das Uberleben des Unternehmens, manchmal freilich aber auch nur deshalb, weil die folgende Generation nicht stark genug ist, den Unternehmer vor die Tur des Unternehmens zu setzen, bevor er stirbt. Das ist dann auch keine gute Voraussetzung fur ein langfristiges Uberleben des Unternehmens. Wir wissen heute auch, dass der Tod von Unternehmen eine notwendige Bedingung fur das Uberleben des gesamten Systems ist. Der Ernstfall des Unternehmens ist der Nor malfall des Systems. Der Tod des sozialistischen Wirtschaftssystems hat seine Ursache darin, dass der Tod der volkseigenen Betriebe nicht zugelassen wurde."
