WHU
Schwerpunkte unserer Forschung sind Macht und Kooperation in Lieferantenbeziehungen, die Zusammenarbeit mit Lieferanten in Emerging Markets und die Internationalisierung von Firmen aus Schwellenmärkten. Neben dem hohen wissenschaftlichen Anspruch sind Realitätsbezug und praktische Anwendbarkeit unserer Forschung die wichtigsten Ziele unserer Arbeit.
Connecting firms, connecting people

In der Lehre gestalten wir Kurse und Module zu strategischer Beschaffung, Verhandlungsführung und Internationalem Management sowohl in den verschiedenen WHU-Programmen als auch in Executive Education.

Wir schätzen den Dialog mit der unternehmerischen Praxis. Viele unserer Forschungsprojekte entwickeln wir in Zusammenarbeit mit Unternehmenspartnern. In unsere Lehre integrieren wir regelmäßig Gastveranstaltungen mit hochkarätigen Managern, um unseren Teilnehmenden einen engen Kontakt zur praktischen Anwendung zu ermöglichen.
