Abstract

„Es wächst zusammen, was zusammen gehört“, kommentierte Willy Brandt 1989 den Mauerfall. 30 Jahre nach dem Mauerfall ist schon vieles zusammengewachsen, aber trotz vieler positiver Erfolge gilt Ostdeutschland weiterhin als strukturschwach, mit niedrigeren Löhnen und geringerer Wirtschaftskraft (SVR 2019). Auch haben sich nur wenige Konzernzentralen großer Unternehmen in Ostdeutschland niedergelassen. So befindet sich unter den DAX-30 notierten Börsenunternehmen kein ostdeutsches Unternehmen (BMWi 2018, Gropp et al. 2019). Des Weiteren sind Spitzenpositionen in Wirtschaft, Politik, und Wissenschaft – mal abgesehen von der ostdeutschen Bundeskanzlerin – meist durch Westdeutsche besetzt und der Ruf nach einer „Ost-Quote“ oder „Quote für Ostdeutsche“ wird immer lauter. Zum Anteil der Führungskräfte, den Ursachen und den daraus resultierenden Folgen der Unterrepräsentierung von Personen mit ostdeutscher Sozialisation gibt es nur wenige repräsentative Studien sowie Projekte wie u.a. am DeZim Institut (Projekttitel „Soziale Integration ohne Eliten“) und die Informationen beruhen hauptsächlich auf dem Anteil von Ostdeutschen als Vorstände in DAX-30 Unternehmen oder in Spitzenpositionen einzelner Sektoren (u.a. Machatzke 1997, Bluhm et al. 2016, Schönherr et al. 2019).In der vorliegenden Studie fassen wir im ersten Teil die derzeitige Literatur in Bezug auf Ostdeutsche in Spitzenpositionen zusammen. Dabei konzentrieren wir uns, wie in den meisten vorhandenen Studien, hauptsächlich auf den Anteil von Ostdeutschen in einzelnen Sektoren wie u.a. Dax-30 Vorständen, Bundeskabinetten, bei StaatssekretärInnen sowie bei HochschulpräsidentInnen und -rektorInnen. Im zweiten Schritt wird der Untersuchungsrahmen auf Führungskräfte im Allgemeinen und in einem dritten Schritt auf TopmanagerInnen erweitert. Für die zweite und dritte Analyse werden die für Deutschland repräsentativen Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) des Deutschen Institutes für Wirtschaftsforschung (Goebel et al. 2019) verwendet.
