Die Konzernordnung

The study analyzes the group organization from the perspective of legal facts and legal doctrine. It focuses in particular on internal guidelines, which control the cooperation of the individual group companies and whose legal classification has not yet been clarified. Internal group guidelines have already received considerable attention in Italy and Poland. The study makes this experience fruitful for German law, integrates these guidelines into the normative system of corporate law, and, building on this, develops impulses for EU-wide harmonization.
