PEOPLE WHO BRAVELY WORK TOGETHER ON SOLUTIONS
This requires maximum interdisciplinarity in the search for innovative solutions, willingness to collaborate, and transparency along the value chain..
Answers to the following questions will be developed:
- What Does Interdisciplinarity Mean in Marketing for Developing New Business Models in the Context of the Circular Economy?
- What Role Does Artificial Intelligence Play in This Process?
- What Types of Collaborations Are Necessary to Develop Economically Successful and Socio-Ecologically Sustainable Innovations Together?
- How Can Consumers Be Engaged in the Transition Toward Greater Sustainability Through a Participatory Process?
- And Much More
In our teaching philosophy, learning and development are not one-way streets; they emerge through active exchange and discussions. Some of our courses are theory-driven, while others focus on practical application. Networking with corporate partners and societal institutions is highly valued, ensuring a bridge between theory and practice.
We see ourselves as disruptors, challenging the status quo of “we’ve always done it this way.”
Learning something new, facing new challenges, and occasionally pushing our own limits isn’t easy. Writing a master’s thesis, in particular, demands self-initiative, responsibility, and perseverance. You won’t face these challenges alone – close coordination, numerous coaching sessions, and intensive discussions ensure optimal learning outcomes and support graduates’ critical reflection abilities.
