Research focus

The chair of Public and Nonprofit Management aims to generate and to transfer knowledge on the professional management of socially-oriented organizations.

This objective is accomplished by conducting theory-based empirical research on the professional management of socially-oriented organizations operating in the public or nonprofit sector. For this purpose, we apply both quantitative and qualitative research methods.  Our current research interests focus on the following areas:

  • market-oriented management
  • strategic management
  • human resource management
  • organization
