As part of a long-term study on medium-sized industrial companies in Germany, the IfM Bonn surveyed a fixed group of industrial companies for the 22nd time in autumn 2015 to assess the economic situation and topics relevant to daily politics and business management. One year after the introduction of the minimum wage, the current survey focuses on the bureaucratic burden in general and the effects of the minimum wage on small and medium-sized industrial companies in particular. Another focus is on the personnel policy plans of medium-sized industrial companies and the entrepreneurial and political challenges involved in creating new jobs.
