Alina Marktanner präsentiert die erste quellengesättigte Studie der Unternehmensberatung in Politik und Verwaltung der Bundesrepublik. Die Darstellung behandelt exemplarische Beratungsaufträge in den Verwaltungsbereichen Postwesen, Schulsystem und Arbeitsverwaltung von den 1970er bis 2000er Jahren. Dabei porträtiert Alina Marktanner die maßgeblich im „öffentlichen Sektor" aktiven Firmen, darunter McKinsey & Company, Roland Berger und die Kienbaum Unternehmensberatung. Sie zeichnet nach, wie sich die Branche seit Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts professionalisierte. Den Politik- und Verwaltungsspitzen dienten die quantifizierenden und zügig verfügbaren Wissensbestände der Consultants dazu, Interessenkonflikte mit Anspruchsgruppen zu navigieren und Gewerkschaften in Sozialstaatsdebatten auf die Zuschauerränge zu verweisen. Die Geschichte des Behördenconsultings als Regierungspraktik erzählt damit von Tendenzverschiebungen im Kräfteverhältnis von Politik, Verwaltung und organisierter Öffentlichkeit. Management consultants have been a regular fixture in the German public sector since the late twentieth century. But how did this come about and what interests brought consultants and civil servants together to conduct their business? The history of public sector consulting is testament, firstly, to the rise of a self-perpetuating industry and, secondly, to the political desire for practical, resistant, easily accessible bodies of knowledge.

This open access book offers four ways to enrich traditional research methods in business ethics. By looking at critical jokes and cartoons on management consultants, their business practice and their clients’ demands, many ethical transgressions in business get addressed. By illustrating and criticizing such transgression, jokes can serve as an example in a theoretical argument, as a prompt to reflect on in an open interview, as a statement to assess in an enquiry or as basis for qualitative content analysis. By adding jokes to the conversation on ethical transgressions in business much depth and honesty can be added, resulting in better research data. Jokes can help to surpass social desirability bias included in answers given in traditional interview settings or enquiries. This book is of interest to consultants, researchers, educators and students in business ethics and management. The book showcases what kind of practical and ethical wisdom is embedded in business jokes and how this knowledge can be made productive in the context of business ethics. .

It is now recognized that workplace aspects (scheduling, shift work, physically demanding work, chemical exposure) not only increase the risk of injury and illness, but also impact health behaviors (smoking, physical activity) and health outcomes (sleep disorders and fatigue, obesity, musculoskeletal disorders). In turn, ill health and chronic conditions can affect performance at work, increasing risk for injury, absenteeism, and reduced productivity. In the past few decades, programs that expand the traditional focus of occupational safety and health to consider nontraditional work-related sources of health and well-being have been shown to be more effective than programs that separately address these issues. This Total Worker Health approach has been recognized by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) as a method for protecting the safety and health of workers, while also advancing the overall well-being of these workers by addressing work conditions. This compendium presents work from an international collection of scholars exploring the relationship between workplace factors and worker safety, health, and well-being. It provides guidance for improving the organization and design of work environments, innovative strategies for promoting worker well-being, and novel methods for exposing underlying occupational causes of chronic disease.
