Notably, of the approximately 790 SEs currently operating in Europe, more than half have their registered office in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo explain this phenomenon, the author examines both legal and economic determinants arising from the applicable European and national legal frameworks, the taxation of corporations, and Germany-specific location factors. The study not only gathers expert opinions on the legal form of the SE in Germany but also critically evaluates the empirical findings against the existing literature, which often contradicts the intentions of the European legislator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn doing so, the author answers the question of why the SE has proven to be particularly successful in Germany. Finally, the book presents policy recommendations aimed at bringing the tendency of German companies to use the SE as a means of escaping employee co-determination to a socially acceptable level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Sven M.
