mittee. Prof. Möller held an interesting presentation on em-

Drotós, Corvinus University of Budapest.
In May 2015, IGC celebrated its 20th anniversary at
its annual meeting in Budapest. Particular highlights
of the annual meeting were the opening keynote by
charter member Prof. Peter Horváth in which he com-
pared the German controlling approach with the US
management-control approach and the retirement of
Dr. Lukas Rieder, who stepped down as a member of
IGC’s executive committee. Lukas Rieder was the last
active charter member. He has served as a member of
the executive committee with great commitment

last two decades were noteworthy, in particular in

The laudation was held by IGC’s honorary president Dr. Wolf
gang Berger-Vogel. Lukas Rieder was rewarded with stand-
ing ovations. Prof. Klaus Möller, University of St. Gallen, was
