A passionate commitment to ethical values and responsible behavior in society were a recurring theme in the life of Professor Raffée, who passed away last year at the age of 91. Until his retirement in 1994, he held the Chair of General Business Administration and Marketing II. In professional circles, he was considered one of the most knowledgeable marketing experts in Germany. He influenced generations of Mannheim students with his expertise and commitment.
