The term "management" characterizes a holistic process that pursues clearly defined targets by means of planned actions. There are a multitude of scientific essays about how management processes should be structured and implemented. EuPD Research | Management & Controlling analyzes the practical configuration of these processes by studying the sequence and impact of partial implementation as well as the efficiency of goal attainment. In this context, we donät consider scientific model development to be the most important consideration. Instead, we stress the support and consulting of companies or organizations regarding planning and implementation processes.
Due to the increasing complexity of the working environment, strategic management is gaining importance. Many business activities and processes need good planning and continuous revision if they are to remain controllable.
  The employment of interim managers in the German private economy  
  Interviewed companies/methods:
For the survey, 1,500 companies from ten branches were interviewed based on a standardized questionnaire. Contact persons were heads of personnel departments, board members, executive directors as well as members of the press department.
 
     
  The most important results:
In Germany, interim management is not yet common practice. Many companies do not have an “emergency guide”, and are thus exposed to diverse risks.

The most important operational areas of interim management are project management and the executive/management board.

Due to a lack of control and insufficient reporting activities, the use of interim managers often cannot be evaluated after the fact.

  Added value of the survey:
The survey gives extensive insight into the state of German interim management and provides answers to questions concerning the practical commitment as well as the integration of temporary managers into a company: How much influence can and should an interim manager have in order to be successful for the enterprise? What is appropriate payment? Is the employment worthwhile only in case of urgent problems or also for self-contained projects?
