💡 Background

Due to regulators and increasing public pressure, companies must always be aware of their carbon footprint. The larger and more complex a company becomes, the more difficult it is to accurately determine a carbon footprint. Accordingly, it is recommended to consider more superior technologies for determining the CO2 footprint.

🦾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

Conduct systematic research on new techniques for measuring carbon footprints of companies:

• Provide an overview of new carbon footprint and resource consumption measurement techniques.
• Provide an overview of the corresponding start-up landscape
• What technologies in this area established?
• Which new technologies are promising?

🧠 Topics of Interest

• Corporate Sustainability
• Climate change
• Resource consumption
• Start-ups

🎓 Profile

• Reliable and self-driven
• Enthusiasm for career management / your own brand & future / entrepreneurship / venture capital
• Ability to do sophisticated internet, desk research, and connect with practitioners
• Passion to learn more about the future and do research with impact
