Erfolgsfaktoren bei der Integration von Coaching und Entwicklungsprogrammen

Success factors for the integration of coaching and development programs This article describes possible ways to combine coaching and development programs for managers, that are based on the author’s practical experience. Such a combination can lead to a more intense and more sustainable competence growth than each individual approach. Both coaching and development program benefit from a combination. Adequately, a high level of integration is desirable. Such an integration will be successful if the structure of the program allows for embedding, special characteristics of the target group are considered, non-threatening labels are used, and the coaches/trainers are able to build a coherent bridge between the single elements.

Coaching von Unternehmern Erfahrungen und Wirkungen

Coaching of owner-entrepreneurs — experiences and effectsThe author argues that the kind of coaching which owner-entrepreneurs require differs in fundamental ways from the kind of coaching for hired top managers. The difference is rooted in the higher level of complexity of the decision problems of owner-entrepreneurs, which needs to be reflected in a more complex approach chosen by the coach. In this context, the ability to make himself better understood by others turns out to be a very essential key capacity which some owner-entrepreneurs lack and which a qualified coach can help them to regain.

Coaching in globalen Unternehmen: Beispiele aus Europa, den USA und China

This article first identifies what a select group of globally operating companies has been implementing in the way of coaching over the last years. In particular, different coaching approaches in Europe, USA, and China are reviewed in the context of these organizational examples. The particular practices are evaluated in light of possible theoretical underpinnings due to the continuing scarcity of sound empirical research on coaching. Addressing the need for first-hand examples of deployed coaching programs, the following offers practitioners the opportunity to extract information on the types of coaching interventions which have been successfully implemented and what criteria are important to consider when rolling out a coaching intervention in a global business environment. Recommendations and lessons learned on selecting coaches are also provided.     

Coaching als Instrument zur Aufrechterhaltung der Machtstellung von Männern in Organisationen

The author discusses the question why the counseling format coaching was able to achieve such a dominant position in the market compared with other formats like supervision or organizational counseling. A point of view specific to power-and gender-related issues and the sociological concept of hegemonial masculinity (Connell) form the starting point to explore this question. Due to its origin from the field of competitive sport and based on its objective target as an instrument for human resources development (Schreyögg) the counseling format coaching serves values and role models typically attributed to men (successful, winner, potent) in an ideal way. Therefore it nourishes established models of hegemonial masculinity in organizations thus contributing to consolidate and safeguard the position of power of men, when it is used in an unreflective modality. With this in mind coaching acts in particular through segregation and as a place to reinsure masculine role models.

Die systematische Entstehung von versicherungsmathematischen Gewinnen und Verlusten bei der Bewertung von Pensionsverpflichtungen

The accounting for pension obligations is based upon numerous parameters, whose future developments must be forecasted for valuation purposes. If the actual realizations of theses parameters deviate from their original estimations there are generated so-called actuarial gains and losses. IAS 19 provides three alternative accounting treatments with respect to these actuarial gains and losses. In particular the equity and the corridor approach, both frequently used in practice, implicitly assume that the actuarial gains and losses offset each other in the long run. However different studies have demonstrated by using the Monte-Carlo-Simulation-technique that this long-term offset is not assured. But those studies do not propose a rationale for the observed generation of systematic actuarial gains and losses. The present paper provides an analytic rationale for the systematic appearance of actuarial gains and losses and comes to the following conclusion: The long-term offset of actuarial gains and losses is assured only if the parameters that must be estimated for valuation purposes are independent. However if there is an interdependence between those parameters, which seems to be a sound assumption in reality, the offset of actuarial gains and losses is not given. In case of a positive correlation actuarial losses are generated on a systematic basis, whereas a negative correlation results in actuarial gains.

Determinanten des Informationsgehalts von Managementprognosen – eine empirische Untersuchung anhand der DAX und MDAX-Unternehmen

In this article the characteristics and determinants of the information content of management earnings forecasts of the German DAX and MDAX companies between 2002 and 2005 are analyzed. As proxy for the information content I use the precision of the wording of a forecast. I can show that the forecasts of MDAX companies are more precisely formulated than those of DAX companies. Furthermore forecasts are formulated more precisely, when companies have, (1) a lower percentage of intangible assets, (2) lower market capitalization, (3) lower volatility of earnings and (4) a higher need for external financing.
