Abstract: Abstract This paper explores the role of industry expertise in senior management under changing conditions. It is argued that the quality of management decisions and the corporate culture always depend on an appropriate mix of specific industry expertise and transversal management skills. The optimum mix changes with the specific challenges presented by an industry at a given time. This is illustrated with the example of the railways in Germany, also in the light of the digitization of the mobility and logistics industry.
