The four fields of the IoMS

“We create and share knowledge in Strategic Management that is equally rigorous and relevant and
has a positive impact for academics, students, executives, and society at large”:
Research
Business management has undergone enormous change in recent years. In particular, framework conditions have been changed by technical and digital developments. Our institute has a total of 4 chairs and 6 competence centers focusing on various strategic topics.
Competence Centers
The IoMS focuses its research on the latest topics in business management. The aim is to offer the most up-to-date and useful knowledge both for society and for companies to respond to their challenges.
Global & Corporate Strategy
As globalization progresses, today’s top management places its holistic, global strategy at the center of its corporate mission.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Mergers and acquisitions are an important engine of transformation in the global economy with significant influence on national and international production networks, market relations and competitive dynamics.
Alliances, Platforms and Eco-Systems
Due to the advent of digital platforms, issues of cooperative strategies, both at the business, corporate and network levels, have again become increasingly important.
