Führung in Wachstumsunternehmen: Plädoyer für ein differenziertes Personalmanagement

Summary A characteristic feature of growing companies is the formative market perspective, which influences the company's leadership. The present paper combines two conceptual approaches, namely the personnel strategy types by Gmür and Thommen and the theory of substitutes for leadership. The results of a qualitative study emphasize this compilation, which provides a conceptual framework for analyzing and guiding leadership in growing companies. [...]it is crucial for the success of companies to be committed to an appropriate strategy type and to know applicable substitutes for leadership. [...]if organizations change their strategy type, they should adapt their leadership substitutes as well.
