Vienna Neubau GmbH (B): A candidate for General Manager
At age 34, Hans Macher had enjoyed a successful career in one of the world's best-known consulting firms. In November 2008, he received a call from his friend Michael Prosl, a professor at one of Austria's top business schools, who told him about the possibility of joining Vienna Neubau as general manager.
His prospects at his current company had been looking less bright recently and there was even some doubt about his position in Graz. Hans knew that he had to make the most of the interest shown by Vienna Neubau's CEO, but he did not know how to approach the next-possibly decisive-interview scheduled for the following week.
