📌 Key facts
💡 Background
Demographic change, a shortage of skilled workers, employees willing to change jobs - the battle between companies for the brightest minds has already begun and is being fought fiercely in some cases. To win this fight, leaders must be aware of the competencies by which their performance is measured and which can thus play a major role in recruiting and retaining the brightest minds.
🦾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.
