Abstract

Organizational complexity has increased dramatically in recent years (Company & Tollman 2014). The result is a lot of low value-adding activities and a high level of administrative tasks. In the medium term, this leads to lower employee motivation, which can set a dangerous downward spiral in motion. Management systems have been developed to better deal with these framework conditions. The term management system originally comes from the field of quality management. Basically, this is a methodically consistent approach by organizations to achieve their goals. The essential business processes and their interfaces are described. Management systems are described and standardized by management system standards (MSS). The description of the business processes also lays the foundation for an organizational culture that promotes continuous improvement. For this purpose, performance must be regularly evaluated and weaknesses corrected. This requires clear guidelines from management and a high level of employee commitment.
