Business

In line with Andrew van de Ven’s "Engaged Scholarship" (2007) and Anne Sigismund Huff’s call for "Changes in Organizational Knowledge Production" (1999) we welcome the advice and perspective of our key stakeholders (researchers, users, clients, sponsors and practitioners).

Through the interaction with our business partners we can ensure that our research and teaching activities cover the complex social problems in the business world. Thus, we aim to establish long-term relationships with practitioners and welcome ongoing cooperation in research and teaching.

In terms of research cooperation we welcome individual managers as well as business firms to engage in joint research projects. For all participating parties, these projects open up new horizons. For corporate partners they provide access to our academic large-scale research initiatives as well as international research collaborations.

Is your company interested in the scientific analysis and evaluation of particular challenges you are facing? And does your challenge fit within our “Ability to Innovate” Research Initiative? If this is the case, you are cordially welcome to contact us.
