Doctoral Research Associate (m/f/d)

Overall, our research addresses strategies, transformations, and firm success. We strive to provide insights critical to business practice and develop strategic concepts and theories further.

We cooperate with renowned scholars at home and abroad and with well‑established corporate partners. Research results are presented at international conferences and also applied to business practice. Several current and former doctoral students have won competitive funding. Former doctoral candidates of Professor Hutzschenreuter are today executives at multinational enterprises, international strategy consultancies, and private equity firms, and work at renowned business schools.
