Friends Book order (chronological)

Das Unternehmerleben ist weit mehr als nur Schreibtisch, First Class Flüge und Bankgespräche. In 80 Geschichten hat Günter Morsbach Erlebnisse von Freunden und Geschäftspartnern sowie eigene Erinnerungen zusammengetragen, die ein facettenreiches Bild des Unternehmertums zeichnen. Er erzählt von Happenings, Lebensläufen und Firmenhistorien, aber auch von den Emotionen und Missverständnissen, die im Hintergrund des Geschäftslebens auftreten – dem „Business Backstage“. Die Erzählungen reichen von erstaunlichen Erfolgsgeschichten bis hin zu Pleiten und Pannen, stets mit einem Hauch von Humor, der oft in verblüffenden Pointen mündet. Die Geschichten umfassen einen Juwelier, der mehrfach überfallen wurde, einen Unternehmer, der Zirkusdirektor wurde, die Gründung eines Spielzeugunternehmens, das zu einem internationalen Konzern wuchs, sowie die Sanierung einer Haushaltswarenfabrik in Frankreich. Morsbach, der sein Berufsleben in der Medienbranche verbrachte und sich ehrenamtlich für Wirtschaftsverbände engagierte, wählte die Unternehmer aus, deren Geschichten er erzählen wollte, und kombinierte diese mit Erinnerungen an die Erzählungen seines Vaters. So entstand eine unterhaltsame und einzigartige Sammlung, die es so bisher nicht gab.
