Driven by mega-trends such as advancing digitalization, changes in business and society are accelerating noticeably. In order to shape the transformation in a sustainable and positive way, we are working with business, politics and society on various research projects. The aim of our research is to generate relevant contributions for the international scientific community. We develop and evaluate theory- and evidence-based solutions that generate sustainable added value.
Practice
Apply knowledge
![Key Visual](/fileadmin/_processed_/f/2/csm_transfer_79fd437080.png)
Methods, concepts and knowledge only create value if they are applied in practice. To ensure the application orientation of our work, we offer a broad portfolio of formats for exchange and knowledge transfer and are constantly developing these further. If we can support you or if you are interested in a cooperation (e.g. lectures, workshops or cooperative projects) with our institute, please do not hesitate to contact us. You ask, we research and together we develop solutions.
Teaching
Imparting knowledge

The professors of the institute offer a wide range of courses. These teach both academically challenging and practice-oriented concepts, methods and theories in the areas of service, innovation and information management. Students and practice partners who are interested in current issues within our research areas are offered the opportunity to investigate them theoretically and empirically within a thesis.
Our Team
The institute's team includes professors, research associates and associated researchers, each with applied and theoretical expertise in different contexts. The interdisciplinary and diverse structure of our team enables us to look at challenges in practice and science from different perspectives and to develop new, sustainable approaches to solutions.
The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but building on the new.
