Abstract
The German economy and its traditional large-scale incumbent companies are enjoying flourishing conditions. The nation’s GDP has risen from €2.220bn in 2004 to €3.277bn in 2017 (Statistisches Bundesamt, 2018). Furthermore, the unemployment rate has reached its lowest point since the unification of the country in 1990 (Bundesagentur für Arbeit, 2018).
