The 2020 SCM Journal List ranking confirms WHU’s top position in supply chain management research.
Read moreOur primary research interest is the role of power in buyer-supplier relationships, determinants of successful cooperation with suppliers in emerging markets, and the internationalization of firms from emerging markets. Next to academic rigor, real-life relevance is a key objective in our work.
In our teaching, we cover courses and modules on Strategic Sourcing, Negotiations, and International Business across WHU programs and in Executive Education.
We engage in and value dialogue with management practice. We frequently conduct research projects in collaboration with corporate partners, and in our teaching we bring participants in close contact with real-life business through joint interactive sessions with practitioners.

International Module China –
Essential insights for MBA students.
The International Module China is an essential part of the WHU Full-Time and Part-Time MBA programs. During one week in Shanghai, participants gain first-hand insights into latest trends, challenges and opportunities of the Chinese business place. Next to China’s established role as a manufacturing hub, we take a close look on the emerging importance of China as an innovation platform. Engaging with Shanghai’s vibrant start-up and entrepreneurship scene is another cornerstone of the program.
The week in Shanghai comprises interactive classes at CEIBS and FUDAN, two of the best business schools in Asia, as well as company visits and deep discussions with senior managers from diverse industries.
We thank all our hosts and discussion partners in Shanghai for the great interaction and valuable insights they share!
