Luca Fuchs is a graduate of the Advanced Sales Management and Intelligence master's programme and wrote his master's thesis in collaboration with Liebherr-Hydraulikbagger GmbH. He focussed on the question of how two two-way machines can be established as efficiently and successfully as possible on the US market. The core of the thesis is the development of a market launch strategy based on an established method. The results clearly show that the US market has great potential for Liebherr-Hydraulikbagger GmbH.
Congratulations from supervisor Prof Dr Alexander Kracklauer
"Luca Fuchs has demonstrated an impressive combination of scientific depth and practical relevance in his master's thesis. His analysis of the market launch of road-rail excavators on the American market is not only theoretically sound, but also offers valuable strategic approaches for practical application. The award of the Bavarian Culture Prize is a well-deserved recognition of his outstanding achievements. Congratulations!"
