Abstract

The complexity of the global economic processes has increased enormously and the demands of different stakeholders on practicable management systems have increased as well. Tasks and demands are more and more complex and the boundaries of systems expand. The prob-lem is to combine different demands and different management systems and to create a me-thod which can be handled easily.

Purpose: This paper offers an approach how to join different demands and requirements of different stakeholders by just one management system. This concept is called the WGMC – the Wup-pertal Generic Management Concept.

Methodology: This concept is based on the hypothesis that an enterprise needs one all-embracing; holistic management concept. We developed a new methodology. It offers the opportunity to realize and verify an effective solution of the described problems.

Research Limitation: The theoretical approach of the generic management concept is based on a module structure. These modules have to be defined and described. A lot of research work has already been done; but there are still fields of research to continue. It has to be mentioned that this ap-proach needs more research work to develop a practicable and easy to handle tool.

Originality/Value of paper: The theoretical approach of the Wuppertal Generic Management Concept leads to a dynamic and sustainable management concept. It presents a real-time operating system. It is a holistic and ubiquitous concept.
