The world of business and work is undergoing a profound, sometimes disruptive, phase of transformation. This transformation is driven by the strong interconnectedness of large economies in a globalised, highly labour-divided and increasingly digitalised economy. This will change the way we live as well as the way we work.December 2017

The question of what is meant by justice and how much redistribution is required in a society in order to ensure social cohesion is open to considerable debate. At the same time, however, the crucial question arises as to whether the assessments of individual aspects of the social situation correspond to the facts or whether there is not rather a distorted perception.March 2017

Employers outline their vision of a modern and sustainable education system. The federal structures in Germany mean unity and diversity and are therefore not a licence for divisive small-scale nationalism in education: diversity wherever possible, but unity wherever necessary. The BDA therefore calls for a joint education strategy by the Federal Government, the Länder and the local authorities.
