The “Best Junior Researcher Award 2024” goes to Dr. Max Reinwald, Assistant Professor of Management. The award was given due to his outstanding research output and the significant theoretical and practical relevance of his work. Through his work, he has established himself as one of the most productive and, at the same time, most distinguished young researchers in the field of organizational behavior.
