In this book Carola Normann-Tschampel develops an enhanced understanding of the relevance of Value-Based Management (VBM) to management practice in Mittelstand. A theory-practice gap is identified based on a unique overview of the field of research. The empirical investigation focuses on three specifically identified areas of management (strategic decision-making, objectives, attitudes) and uses a specific research approach. The insights gained from taking an interpretive stance towards owner-managers' practical experience provide a valuable basis to further address the overall research gap.
