Collegial system
The collegial system is an organization of the top management of an instance (e.g. a company). All members of the instance have essentially the same rights with regard to the decision-making process in this instance. The decision can be made here with a simple majority, with a qualified majority or by unanimous resolutions.
Riester distinguishes:
- Primus collegiality: A member of the college is primus inter pares . He chairs and decides in the event of a tie.
- Voting collegiality : All members of the college have equal rights. Resolutions are made either according to the unanimous principle or the majority principle .
- Departmental collegiality: Each member is responsible for a specific area (department) in the company and has the authority to make decisions there. Cross-divisional decisions will continue to be made jointly by all members.
- Cassation collegiality: Several people with equal rights can only act together. If one contradicts the intention of the other, the action must be stopped. A person can also override or postpone the decision made by others.
