Zusammenfassung

In einer von Konvergenz, Konsolidierung, Aktionärsdruck, Rennen um die besten Talente, um Kundenbindung und um das Wissen charakterisierten globaler werdenden Welt wird das Eingehen von Allianzen, Fusionen und Akquisitionen (M&A) als eine schnelle, effiziente und spektakuläre Form der Innovation betrachtet. M&A scheitern aber oft wegen mangelndem Leadership. M&A erfordert besondere Leadership und Managementkompetenzen, die von der Management Andragogik, die selbstbestimmte, anreiz-motivierte, interkulturelle und —disziplinäre, auf der Erfahrung der lernenden Führungskraft aufbauende Management-Weiterbildung nachhaltig entwickelt wird. Diese qualitative Studie erforscht, welches die Gründe für Erfolg und Scheitern in M&A Situationen sind, welche Management und Leadership Kompetenzen für den Erfolg erforderlich sind und wie diese entwickelt werden können. Diese Studie wurde durchgeführt, bevor die Geschäftswelt durch die Enron und Worldcom Zusammenbrüche und die Rolle von Arthur Andersen aufgerüttelt wurde. Daher hat die Autorin den befragten Führungskräften nach Enron et al. die selben Fragen ein zweites Mal gestellt.
