Eigenschaften erfolgreicher Unternehmer

The civil servant-like employment relationship for life and the gold watch for the 25th or even 40th company anniversary have become rarer than in the economically strong times of the 1960s and 70s. Social systems are gradually reaching their limits, and buzzwords like mass unemployment are not only found in the tabloid press. The economic upturn in Germany has so far lacked impact, yet entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial action in business, science, and politics are highly relevant. Who are the individuals that show entrepreneurial initiative in difficult times? How do successful entrepreneurs differ from less successful ones? Are there indeed personal traits that are crucial for entrepreneurial success? And if so, how can these personality traits be developed and fostered? This question is significant not only for future entrepreneurs but also for investors, business consultants, university lecturers, and similar professions.
