🦾Who We Are

The Chair for Strategy and Organization is focused on research with impact. This means we do not want to repeat old ideas and base our research solely on the research people did 10 years ago. Instead, we currently research topics that will shape the future. Topics such as Agile Organizations and Digital Disruption, Blockchain Technology, Creativity and Innovation, Digital Transformation and Business Model Innovation, Diversity, Education: Education Technology and Performance Management, HRTech, Leadership, and Teams. We are always early in noticing trends, technologies, strategies, and organizations that shape the future, which has its ups and downs.

🎯 Goals

• Creating an overview of the Decentraldized Ledger Technologies startup landscape in the area of the Automotive Industry
• Conduct systematic research on the existing and upcoming transformation of the automotive industry based on the use of Decentralized Ledger Technologies:
• Which processess of the automotive industry will be particularly changed by the introduction of DLT?
• What new services can be offered through the use of DLT?
• Will new participants be added to the value network and will existing ones possibly be displaced?
• What impact does DLT have on the medium- and long-term strategic orientation?
• Create an overview of the existing startup landscape
