TUM is the strongest research university in business administration in Germany. The new edition of the WirtschaftsWoche ranking not only confirms the top position, but also shows the performance of individual researchers. Nine scientists are among the top 100. Ten researchers are represented in the lifetime achievement category, three are among the best business administration researchers under the age of 40.
For the ranking of the WirtschaftsWoche magazine, ETH Zurich evaluates the number of publications from Germany, Austria and Switzerland in around 860 scientific journals over the past five years. In the lifetime achievement category, the researcher’s complete publication histories were counted. As not every journal is of the same importance, the articles are weighted according to the journal's reputation.
TUM is once again in the top position among German universities. In the overall ranking, it is ranked third after the University of St. Gallen and the University of Zurich.
The WirtschaftsWoche names several reasons for the success of the TUM School of Management with its focus on the interface between management and technology. Business administration research is consistently interdisciplinary. This is demonstrated not least by the TUM Campus Heilbronn, where management and computer science professorships work together on digital transformation. The school is also a pioneer in the use of artificial intelligence in business administration research and thus gaining new insights, for example in the optimization of logistics networks. The magazine particularly highlights the close collaboration with companies based on campus, such as the school's joint research with SAP. The TUM Faculty Tenure Track appointment and career system also contributes to the success with its strict performance orientation.
