note = {After long years of fierce debate on the reform of academic career
paths in Germany this article sums up the current state of academic
careers in the country. The author compares and contrasts career paths
and orientations in scientific institutions with those in business
corporations. The study reveals that a differentiation of career paths
is underway in the corporate sector, albeit tentatively, whereas the
academic sector focuses more than ever on only one goal, namely
obtaining a professorship. This difference in career paths is also
reflected in the career orientations of the employees. In companies
the author identifies three different types of orientations that can
be interpreted as reactions to very different features of the
structural changes in the business world. In academia, which is
characterised by intense competition among a constantly growing number
of academics for an almost stagnant number of permanent posts, three
orientations can also be identified. However, they differ from the
responses of their peers in business because they are based on
subjective perceptions of the likelihood of career success under these
conditions.},
