Research

Excellence in research is one of the basic elements at WHU. The high priority of this is a natural progression of our mission statement. Particular emphasis is placed on the independence of research activities.

At present, 22 professors are conducting research at WHU, all of whom have made a name for themselves in the academic world through numerous research projects here and abroad. We also place great emphasis on the promotion of young academics. At WHU’s chairs and 9 Centers, there are 10 assistant professors and more than 120 doctoral candidates, all of whom greatly enrich the research capabilities of our school.

This consistent long-term focus on independent top-quality research has paid off: WHU is one of the most noted German research institutions in the area of business studies today.
