Das Einmaleins der Betriebswirtschaft

Money and finance play a crucial role in companies. Only those who are able to understand the economic interrelationships can negotiate with the employer at eye level and protect the interests of the workers. This is particularly important in times of pandemic crises, with turnover losses and the threat of insolvency. In simple and easy-to-understand language, the brochure explains the necessary basics of business administration: What is a company? What do we mean by profit, return on investment or liquidity? With the help of concrete practical tips and examples, new works council and economic committee members learn to understand the economic situation of the company and to recognise opportunities and risks for the workforce in time. This enables them to make proper use of their participation rights in economic matters. With online quiz: with the help of control questions, works council members can repeat the knowledge they have learned online and check their own level of knowledge.
