Leadership und Unternehmensentwicklung — Beitrag des Top Managements zur Unternehmensperformance

  • Chapter
Personalmanagement im Wandel

Zusammenfassung

Humanressourcen gelten grundsätzlich und erst recht im Hinblick auf die entstehende Wissensökonomie als wichtigster Produktionsfaktor und als bedeutendste Quelle für Wettbewerbsvorteile1 der Unternehmung. Fähige und motivierte Mitarbeiter werden in einer wissensgetriebenen, informationsbasierten und serviceintensiven Wirtschaft zur knappsten und damit wertvollsten Ressource (vgl. Bartlett, Ghoshal 2002, S. 34 f). Dieser Stellenwert erklärt sich aus ihrer Rolle als Schöpfer, Träger und Anwender von Wissen, und zwar auf allen Ebenen und in allen Bereichen der Unternehmung. Aus der „Knowledge-based View“ wird die Unternehmung als ein System verteilter Wissensbasen (vgl. Tsoukas 1996, S. 11ff) und als eine Institution zur Integration eben dieser Wissensbasen (vgl. Grant 1996, S. 109ff) interpretiert. Wissen dient als Know-how der effizienten Lösung operativer Aufgaben, als Know-why dem Verstehen komplexer Geschäftszusammenhänge und als Know-what der zielbewussten Anwendung von Know-how und Know-why zur nachhaltigen Unternehmensentwicklung. Im zuletzt genannten Aspekt manifestiert sich die Kernaufgabe der strategischen Führung. Der Beitrag reflektiert vorliegende Erkenntnisse über den Zusammenhang zwischen Führung und Entwicklung sowie über den Einfluss des Topmanagements auf die Performance einer Unternehmung.
