You will not only focus on the challenges facing (inter)national management, but also analyze and develop strategies for successfully navigating complex dynamic environments (such as creating future scenarios).

By studying globally innovative business models featuring aspects of digitalization, openness and the circular economy, you will conduct research on why companies become international, explore the opportunities and risks of entering international markets, and ascertain the challenges of globalization (such as climate protection and sustainability).

At the same time, you will acquire a deeper understanding of human resource management issues (such as Digital Immigrants vs. Digital Natives) and learn in more depth about international and virtual collaboration (you can experience the challenges of virtual collaboration as part of an international simulation study).

In addition, you will work together with a top, local company to play an active role as part of a comprehensive and interdisciplinary hands-on project analyzing complex strategic issues and developing strategic options.

The Master's thesis topic must be about your selected Competence Area. If you choose to write your Master's thesis in the Competence Area of Strategic and International Management, you can find additional information here:
