These diverse backgrounds and strengths of our faculty members distinguish our business school.”
Professor Eric Fellhauer adds: “In research and teaching, Frankfurt School is one of the top European business schools. I am delighted to further strengthen this position as a faculty member. Digitalisation, ESG, the geopolitical situation or demographic change – we will address key challenges for medium-sized and family businesses in our research and expand our university degree programmes and executive education to include corresponding courses.”
