Theme 2 | Herbert Unterköfler

Qualifications of Politicians from the Point of View of Modern Management Selection

Politics and business embody completely different worlds

Does a political activity presuppose qualifications other than a management activity in the economy? A systemic comparison of leadership and management in politics and in business suggests this. In fact, an analysis of the CVs of over 700 deputies and government members in the Confederation and in the federal states shows that politics and business embody completely different worlds.
