Groups at WHU

The WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management aims to achieve research and training excellence on an international level.

In view of the ever increasing degree of specialization in research and teaching, providing organizational support in this mission poses a particular challenge.

WHU meets this challenge by initiating topic-related collaboration between individual chairs, research centers and academics at WHU in the form of so-called ‘Groups’.

Groups have been established around the following topics:

• Accounting and Control
• Economics
• Finance
  
• Innovation and Entrepreneurship
• Marketing
• Strategy and Organization
• Supply Chain Management

Within the individual Groups, members have the opportunity to explore and develop related research topics and to exchange experiences. Bundling knowledge and resources releases synergy potential and inspires new directions for research.

Furthermore, cross-curricular teaching within the individual Groups is optimally arranged to cover the entire spectrum from the Bachelor program, to the MSc to the individual MBA programs.
