Abstract: The article takes the reissue of the 1990 study “The Social World of Small Businesses” by Hermann Kotthoff and Josef Reindl as an opportunity to review the significance of this study for the development of German sociology of work since the 1960s. Against the background of the still dominating industrial and technically fixed view, this book has remained a solitaire to this day. In view of the current breakdown and fragmentation of large enterprises, the reissue of the Kotthoff/Reindl study makes clear the necessity of re-examining the current social situation of small and medium-sized enterprises.
