From July 26 to July 28, the team of the Chair of Marketing Management (IfM) spent its annual research retreat at Landhaus Rothenberge to discuss current research projects. This year, a special guest, Professor Leo Paas from the University of Auckland, also participated in the doctoral seminar and made an excellent contribution to the team, both professionally and personally.

The AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium brings together doctoral students from leading business schools around the globe to facilitate learning and networking among doctoral students and faculty members. Faculty members are invited by the organizers to participate and the business schools can send one doctoral student to the Consortium. Thus, being part of the Consortium is a great honor for all participants.

On May 16, Professor Manfred Krafft gave the laudatory speech for this year’s Marketing award at the regional Marketing Club Münster Osnabrück.
