Dean and Dean's Office

The Dean heads the University and represents it publicly. He is responsible for ensuring that the defined activities of the university are properly carried through, and that the mission of the University is upheld. The Dean regularly informs the sponsoring foundation about significant developments, plans and other such information concerning the University.

Prof. Frenkel has been the Dean of WHU since 2005, and has held the Chair for Macroeconomics and International Economic Policy since 1993.  

The Associate Dean supports the Dean in the performance of his duties and acts as his deputy. The main areas of responsibility, for example for programs, are divided between the Dean and Associate Dean. They are supported in this by the “Academic Directors” of each program.

Prof. Rudolf has been the Associate Dean of WHU since October 2009, and has held the Chair of Finance since 1998.
