How can I avoid entrepreneurial co-determination? What are solution-oriented ways and means that can help me successfully achieve this goal? What should I pay attention to during implementation? These questions cause headaches for many companies, as entrepreneurial co-determination still represents a significant limitation of their decision-making powers for many. To avoid or eliminate the unintentional participation of employees, restructuring measures often serve as both the reason and the solution to the co-determination rights that are frequently identified as a problem. In this context, this work aims to provide guidance and highlight opportunities that help to narrow down and decipher this issue. A key focus is therefore on presenting practical mechanisms and providing guidance.
