Ansätze zur Bilanzierung des staatlichen Straßeninfrastrukturvermögens: Einstieg in ein ganzheitliches Asset-Management-System (Baubetriebswirtschaftslehre und Infrastrukturmanagement)

Dieses Buch befasst sich mit der handelsrechtlichen Bilanzierung der staatlichen Straßeninfrastruktur und stellt die Vorteile eines Umstiegs auf eine transparentere öffentliche Rechnungslegung heraus. Reinhardt Stuhr zeigt anhand der Zwecke der öffentlichen Rechnungslegung, dass die Bilanzierung der staatlichen Straßeninfrastruktur nach den handelsrechtlichen Grundsätzen ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung sachgerecht ist. Es bedarf dafür keiner weiteren Standardsetzungen. Empirische Ergebnisse zu den bisherigen Ansätzen zur Bilanzierung zeigen ein uneinheitliches Bild in der Handhabung der Rechnungslegungsempfehlungen der Standards staatlicher Doppik sowie eine geringe Bedeutung der vorliegenden Bilanzierungsdaten für die Aufstellung des Haushaltsplanes und für die Fortschreibung der Daten in ein internes Asset-Management-System.

Bisher fehlte es jedoch noch an einem systematischen Überblick über diese Art von Ansätzen, der im Rahmen dieser Untersuchung adressiert und geschlossen wird. Dafür werden gleich mehrere Wissensbeiträge generiert, die sowohl für die wissenschaftliche Community als auch für die Praxis eine hohe Relevanz besitzen: 1.) einen zusammenfassenden Überblick über State-of-the-Art-Methoden zur wirtschaftlichen Bewertung von Geschäftsprozess-Compliance, 2.) eine Konzept-zentrierte Auswertung dieser Methoden sowie 3.) die Ableitung einer Forschungsagenda, die als Startpunkt für weitere Forschungsbestrebungen dient.

Anspruch und Wirklichkeit des Controlling: Eine Untersuchung jenseits des betriebswirtschaftlichen Paradigmas

​Stephanie Bücherl präsentiert eine empirische Rekonstruktion der Controlling-Praxis und greift auf eine Datenbasis zurück, die im Rahmen einer teilnehmenden Beobachtung in der Finanzzentrale eines Weltkonzerns gewonnen wurde. Der „Anspruch“ der controllinggestützten Unternehmenssteuerung an Objektivität und Rationalität wird mit der empirischen „Wirklichkeit“ konfrontiert. Die Studie erbringt den fundierten Nachweis, dass die Diskrepanz von Anspruch und Wirklichkeit nicht zufällig auftritt, sondern selbst systematisches Ergebnis der Verankerung des Controlling in organisationalen Strukturen und Prozessen ist. Die Autorin beschreibt detailliert, mit welchen Techniken und Mechanismen das Controlling den Mythos zahlenbasierter Objektivität und Rationalität aufrechterhält.
