Sandwiched between the US - the sole superpower at the turn of the millennium - and China as the expected next superpower, Europe is rarely discussed as a potential dealer of the 21st century. At best, it is seen as an able follower of trends set by others. At worst, it is regarded as a relic; a kind of vast open-air museum with a rich culture and good food, immersed in a glorious past with limited prospects.Europe's Hidden Potential explores how an 'overlooked and underrated' continent can harness its potential to positively shape the global and economic future.As the world is looking for an alternative leader, this book shows how Europe can - and ought to - lead the way once more.

<p>Im Spannungsfeld zwischen Strategie und Finanzen bewegt sich das gesamte Planungs- und Entscheidungssystem von Unternehmen. Ein Top-Manager und ein bekannter Wissenschaftler thematisieren die Hauptströmungen und Unterschiede betriebswirtschaftlicher Argumentation und stellen dazu die Best-Practices-Werkzeuge beider "Denkschulen" dar. Sie entwickeln einen fundierten Ansatz, der den Antagonismus beider Lager überwindet, ohne den Gegensatz zu verwässern. Position, Aufbau, Wachstum und Ertrag, diese vier Phasen beschreiben, wann welche Sicht dominiert: in frühen Phasen sind es strategische, in den späteren Phasen finanzielle Überlegungen.</p>

Unternehmerisches Denken zwischen Strategie und Finanzen: Die vier Jahreszeiten der Unternehmung (German Edition)

Spremann, Klaus

Finance

<p>Companies' decision-making and planning systems find themselves in a constant tug of war between strategic and financial considerations. The authors analyze these two opposing currents in business thinking, dissecting their differences and identifying their best practices. They also develop an approach that reconciles the two conflicting schools of thought – without watering down their differences. Schwenker und Spremann argue that both strategic and financial perspectives can serve as a compass in management's decision-making processes: Which perspective to choose depends on the phase of business. The authors distinguish four phases in the company lifecycle – phases in which the business must find the proper position, develop, grow and, ultimately, earn. In the first two phases, strategic considerations should take priority; in the latter two phases, financial considerations rule the day.</p>
