englischThere is hardly a social field today where it is not imperative to always be successful. What caused the triumph of this guiding principle? What are the social conditions and the consequences of the increasingly ubiquitous motto: Success at any price?

The 16 contributions explore the emergence of the success maxim, discuss the specific field and organization constellations where its potency is displayed and trace patterns of its individual adaptation within professional, gender and milieu groups. As it turns out, the primacy of success owes its breakthrough to collateral, quasi complicit trends of social structural change. At the same time it is also clear that the success dogma has both structural limitations provoking a quite unequal distribution of its individual and institutional costs and social refractions every now and then leading to highly paradoxical effects.
