Dieser Dieser Beitrag stellt zur Diskussion, welchen Beitrag die Compliance im Rahmen der Corporate Governance-Forschung einnehmen kann, wie sich diese Einordnung aus einer öko-nomischen Sichtweise heraus begründen lässt und welche Auswirkungen zu erwarten sind. Mag auf den ersten Blick der Begriff der Compliance tatsächlich wie ein alter Wein in neuen Schläuchen erscheinen, zeigt sich bei genauerer Betrachtung dass Compliance-Mechanismen und Maßnahmen im Rahmen der Corporate Governance Forschung einen begründeten Beitrag leisten, der über existierende Mechanismen - wie das Rechtssystem - hinausreicht. Die vorliegende Analyse soll dazu beitragen, eine fundierte Begründung für die Etablierung von Compliance-Maßnahmen zu liefern. Der Beitrag setzt dort an, wo bisherige Maßnahmen nicht oder nur unzureichend greifen: auf der Ebene der Unternehmensleitung.Beitrag stellt zur Diskussion, welchen Beitrag die Compliance im Rahmen der Corporate Governance-Forschung einnehmen kann, wie sich diese Einordnung aus einer ökonomischen Sichtweise heraus begründen lässt und welche Auswirkungen zu erwarten sind.

After WWII, the German Economy increased rapidly, often described as the Deutsche Wirtschaftswunder. Within a short period, Germany reached the status of unemployment and human capital gets the critical factor and resource in shaping economic growth. While the bottle neck with blue collar workers was solved by an active immigration policy by attracting people from Italy, Turkey or Greece, the lack of white collar workers and engineers still remained. Public universities at this time weren't still unable to provide the quantity of well-educated people in particular in the natural sciences. In particular the high opportunity costs of time made public universities less attractive compared to an early carrier within the industry. In the mid of the 1960s the German government decided to adapt a well-known concept from the theory of the firm - division of labor to provide high skilled employees. A new type of university was created, the so called Universities of Applied Sciences. Public Universities are focused on basic research, while Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) provide the economy with applied research and education. While the time spend at public universities often exceeded a couple of years before getting graded, the study program at UAS was mainly limited to 3 years (6 semesters). After the Bologna Reform, Bachelor and Master programs of UAS and public universities are treated equally. In the last decade, this division of labor between UAS and public universities was mainly focused on an additional way, the role of each type of university within the technology transfer process. While the role of public universities and their role within the technology transfer processes is intensively studied (Hülsbeck, Lehmann & Starnecker, 2012) the impact of UAS remains rather under researched. Although they are quite successful in their cooperation with the industry and are nevertheless a bone back in the university-industry relationships, there exists almost anecdotal evidence on this type of universities. This paper tries to shed some lights on this type of universities which could be a role model in particular for countries and regions where small and medium sized firms dominate the industrial landscape.

Europe and much of the developed world have been bogged down by stagnant economic growth and alarmingly high rates of unemployment. But not Germany. This book reveals seven key aspects of the German economy and society that have provided considerable buoyance in an era of global turbulence.
