Talk:Contractual Management

Simplify
This article needs to be written in a more accessible way, with less corporatese. It's barely understandable! ... disco spinster   talk  15:54, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic, because the Wikipedia articles (English and German) by Schuhmann and Eichhorn are based on several years of research in peer-reviewed publications over the last decade. Equating contractual management with contract management shows that, unfortunately, you have probably not studied this literature in depth. Contract management is essentially concerned with the integration of the contract into the company's workflow, i.e. it tends to take a business perspective, whereas contractual management approaches the contract as a control and management instrument in the company from a legal perspective - and this is new in Schuhmann and Eichhorn's version. Here is an excerpt from a peer-reviewed report (2015) on contractual management for the journal European Review of Contract Law: "The focus of this article is on a highly interesting and topical subject. Contract Management (or rather: Contractual Management...) increasingly attracts academic interest. However, contract management systems have so far predominantly been a topic of business studies. The law was only insofar part of this inquiry as legal obligations were the objects that have to be managed, but legal scholars have not contributed much to this debate so far. However, this is about to change...   Therefore, the article makes an innovative and also significant contribution already by focussing on a newly emerging field...    In short, I would recommend to accept the paper for publication..." Prof. Dr. Dr. Stefan Grundmann, LL.M. Chair of Civil Law, German, European and International Private and Commercial Law Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Unter den Linden 6 10099 Berlin Here are two articles from ranked journals in which we have set out the elements of our definition: Schuhmann, Ralph; Eichhorn, Bert (2015). From Contract Management to Contractual Management, European Review of Contract Law (ERCL), 1, pp. 1-21. Schuhmann, Ralph; Eichhorn, Bert (2017). Reconsidering Contract Risk and Contractual Risk Management, International Journal of Law and Management, vol. 59, no. 4, pp. 504-521. From these and other academic works, the book "Schuhmann, Ralph; Eichhorn, Bert (2019). Contractual Management: A Holistic Approach to a Diverse Issue. In: Schuhmann, Ralph; Eichhorn, Bert (Editors). Contractual Management -Managing Through Contracts, Springer Verlag, pp. 3-47." emerged. Our aim was and is to lead the discussion about this new approach also via Wikipedia. It is not clear to me to what extent you think you can decide on the significance of a new approach without taking into account the existing publications. Or to measure the quality of a new approach by whether it is already shared throughout the scientific community. It is not apparent to me that there is any other definition of contractual management. So it is, of course, that we present our own and cannot refer to another. I would ask you to seriously reconsider your deletion after all. - --Berlin 1989Berlin1989 (talk) 14:03, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
