high turnover, a wide range of products and services, international operations, a significant number of employees, and decentralized production. In addition to their size and diversity, complex companies are also characterized by high environmental dynamics and significant internal changes. Successfully managing a complex company presents a major challenge. This book begins by providing an overview of the most important tasks for both the supervisory and executive boards. It distinguishes three core tasks, six analysis and design tasks, and two meta-tasks. The individual tasks are then briefly described in a practical manner, including: - The importance of the task - The framework and description of the main subtasks - The responsibilities of the supervisory and executive boards The primary audience for this book is members of supervisory and executive boards of complex companies. It can also be valuable for consultants. Finally, it is suitable as a teaching aid in master's programs, executive courses, and in-house programs of companies.
