Managerial Myopia in German companies

Do the management boards of German companies refrain from making economically sensible investments in order to be able to present satisfactory results to a financial community focused on quarterly figures? In this paper the question of the existence of such short-term behaviour, called Managerial Myopia, and the factors influencing this behaviour is posed. The author Michael Berger introduces the conditions for managerial myopia and categorizes the manifestations of this short-term behavior. After a literature review, the methodology of the study is presented - a postal, anonymous questionnaire survey among the financial directors of the CDAX companies and a series of semi-structured interviews were conducted. The results of the survey provide clear indications of the existence of short-term behavior. At the same time, inferential statistical studies provide insights into its influencing factors. The book is aimed at investors, managers and students of economics. This book has been translated with Artificial Intelligence.
