Research
In our research we focus on service management, consumer behavior and emotion research. Emphasizing the perspectives of consumers and entrepreneurs we gain important managerial insights via the application of theory-driven empirical research. Our research follows an interdisciplinary approach and thus integrates psychological, sociological and economic theories to further academic progress. We strive for the highest international research standards. This implies that our research findings are published in top-tier international journals and are presented at leading international conferences. Our international orientation can be seen in our worldwide network of research collaborations with renown national and international researchers and companies.
