Companies are increasingly exposed to social change, high dynamics and complexity - and yet they are expected to organise themselves competitively and operate successfully. This leads to growing demands in management, in the leadership of individuals and teams and in the further development of creative, innovative business ideas.
This research area deals with the effects of changes in society, the economy and technology on companies, their employees and their management, as well as the recognition of innovation potential and the implementation and control of start-up and innovation processes.
We perform research and development in the following topics:
- Responsible Leadership & Development (leadership competence development)
- Values-based Leadership & Development (leadership competence development)
- Team and organisational research (team leadership, team dynamics and modern leadership concepts)
- The impact of digital transformation on organisations and work (shaping and regulating the dissolution of boundaries between professional and private life in the modern world of work, power and agility as well as dealing with complexity in organisations)
- Collaborative innovation & intrapreneurship (success factors of innovation, business model innovation and factors for the entrepreneurial action of employees)
Infrastructure:
- Innovation Lab (3D Printing Lab, Assembly Lab, Electronics Lab, Laser Lab, Metal Lab, Robotics Lab, Textile Lab, Wood Lab, Special Projects Lab - lots of space for big ideas)
- Science Labs and focus group rooms (3 lab and observation rooms with Venetian mirror and mobile partition wall as well as tribune for observers)
- State-of-the-art media technology equipment (PTZ cameras, audio and video system for live broadcasts, stationary eye-tracking system, etc.)
