Keynote 3: Increasing Diversity in German Management DQG6XSHUYLVRU\%RDUGVò,VLWZRUWKWKH(IIRUW" 5DLIIHLVHQ)RUXP6DDO:LHQ There are numerous advantages of diverse boards and probably just as many possibilities to enhance the propor- tion of the so far neglected groups, especially of women. But why does homogeneity still prevail despite the rising interest in the topic and the partly comprehensive implementation of diversity-increasing measures, especially in larger companies? And why are SMEs noticeably reluctant when it comes to action? Besides reasons such as the old boys’ network and the traditional mentality, there might exist more obstacles preventing minorities to reach the top of the corporate hierarchies. According to recent statements about the shortage of women on their Z\WLY]PZVY`IVHYKZ.LYTHUJVTWHUPLZISHTLPU[LYHSPH[OLVUNVPUNÄ]L`LHYWLYPVKVMJ\YYLU[THUKH[LZ6M course, merely adding women would lead to inappropriately large boards.

Marcus Labbé will be addressing the question, whether it is worth the effort to increase diversity in boardrooms and su- pervisory boards based on the experience of Germany. In conclusion, he will be sharing challenges and obstacles while providing guidance and recommendations.
