Overview: Was machen eigentlich Manager während ihres Arbeitstages? In den USA beschäftigt diese Frage seit einigen Jahrzehnten die empirische Organisationsforschung; in Deutschland hat sie seltsamerweise erst in jüngster Zeit das Interesse der Forscher gefunden. Die wenigen Arbeiten, die bisher zu diesem Phänomen vorgelegt wurden -sie werden in diesem Buch diskutiert -, beschäftigen sich jedoch allesamt mit dem Topmanagement. Man kann also mit Fug und Recht behaupten, daß der deutsche mittlere Manager ein unbekanntes Wesen ist. Dabei ist weder die Annahme, mittlere Manager seien Miniaturausga

Overview: Migration from Africa to Europe.Reasons for migration.Empirical study.Africa is commonly regarded as a "continent on the move" in scholarly observation and mass media reportage. Movement is seen primarily in the direction of Europe. Yet the public debate is characterized by two misconceptions. The first is that high population growth in Africa would almost automatically trigger higher international migration to the neighbouring European continent. There is even talk of a "rush to Europe". The second frequently encountered misconception is that migration and flight in and from Africa
