There is almost no other subject where the connection between research and practice is of greater importance than in Business Administration. Therefore, the Dean’s Office of the Business School of the University of Mannheim strives to create mutually beneficial partnerships between researchers and practitioners.

In each branch, only a few selected firms and one company belong to the small group of partners – a conscious decision. This creates a strong bond between the partner and the Business School. From a very early stage on,  the partners can get in touch with interesting students and graduates, and last but not least receive important input through transferred knowledge in the area of management. For the students of the Business School these partnerships provide a unique opportunity to become acquainted with interesting future employers – through joint seminars, workshops, information events or internships.
