Chairs

The Institute of Management & Strategy (IoMS) consists of three chairs held by Björn Ambos, Christoph Lechner and Tomi Laamanen. The IoMS maintains close ties to the economy. There is an intensive exchange of practice and cross-fertilization by means of research and consulting projects carried out with national and international companies of various industries. We publish our findings in nationally and internationally recognized journals and books.

The IoMS consists of three chairs. In addition to research, the chairs focus on teaching, PhD student accompaniment, continuing education and close cooperation with the industry.
