    Normatives Management

    Die globale Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise hat wachgerüttelt und gezeigt, dass sich für die Unternehmensführung ein neues Management-Modell aufdrängt, das nicht mehr vom Prinzip der Gewinnmaximierung, sondern von einem «Gewinn unter Nebenbedingungen», d.h. unter der An­nahme einer realistischen Berücksichtigung von Anliegen und lnteressen aller Anspruchsgruppen, ausgeht. Diese Nebenbedingungen umfassen dabei alle jene Kriterien, die über die rein ökonomische Maximierung hinausge­hen und die Nachhaltigkeit sowie die Corporate Social Responsibility definieren und sicherstellen. Sie bilden die Grundlage für das normative Management, das bewusst in die strategische Planung in der Unternehmung einzu­beziehen ist.
