Prof. PhD Rico J. Baldegger is Professor of Management and Entrepreneurship at the School of Business Administration in Fribourg (Switzerland). His research activities concentrate on innovative start-ups, the entrepreneurial behaviour of individuals and organisations as well as the phenomenon of rapid-growth companies. He has published several books and articles and has been the manager of a business for company development.

This book provides basic management knowledge in a clearly structured way. Fundamental aspects of management are described, on the basis of which a model of the enterprise is outlined. This allows readers to find their way around easily, to reflect, then to set new approaches in context and examine them in a critical light. The practical examples, the interpretation questions, and the short case studies at the end of the chapters facilitate the transition from theory to practice.
