Conference Meeting Global Challenges: German - U.S. Innovation Policy

The German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) and the National Academies of Sciences (NAS) are pleased to invite you to
the conference.

High ranked representatives from politics, academics and private business discussed the latest development in the field of innovation and education policies. The overall goal of the meeting is to better understand our common challenges and opportunities in several important areas relating to innovation policy, including:

  • Best practice lessons from both nations' innovation systems in order to identify how our respective innovation capacities can be improved and what steps might be taken to accelerate progress;
  • Comparisons of U.S. and German approaches for stimulating and capitalizing on innovation in critical industrial sectors such as biomedical, electric mobility, and clean energy; and
  • Common challenges and areas for cooperation where innovative technologies are needed to address national and global concerns.

Berlin Lunchtime Meeting Management Practices: Company Leaders Often Overestimate Leadership Skills

Dr Christos Genakos, Cambridge University and Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) at LSE London School of Economics

Wednesday, 18 June, 12:00 to 2:00 p.m.

DIW Berlin, Mohrenstr. 58, 10117 Berlin
Schumpeter Hall, First Floor

Comment: NN
Chair: Dr Ray Cunningham, London, Director Anglo-German Foundation

CEP's global survey of over 4,000 firms reveals huge variations in the quality of management practices and shows that

• German managers tend to overestimate their own management skills compared with their company’s actual performance
• German firms that most critically self-evaluate their management practices are the best run companies in reality
• 15 per cent  of German firms are managed worse than the average firm in China and India
• family ownership and the traditional practice of primogeniture – handing down the CEO position to the eldest son – are associated with particularly bad management practices
• private equity firms, in Germany better known as Heuschrecken (locusts), are better managed than companies with other ownership forms
• the productivity gap between US and European companies seems to be in reality a management gap
The global study by the Centre for Economic Performance is supported by the Anglo-German Foundation based on its programme Creating Sustainable Growth in Europe (csge).

Christos Genakos is a Lecturer, Fellow and Director of Studies in Economics at Selwyn College, Cambridge University. He is also a research economist at the Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) in the London School of Economics. His research focuses on Industrial Organization and Applied Microeconomics. Recent work includes welfare analysis of mergers in the PC industry, examining foreclosure incentives in the PC and server operating systems market, estimation of the “waterbed” effect in mobile telephony and evaluation of international management practices.
