The Chair as a partner for companies
The Chair of Marketing and Services serves as a scientific centre of competence for questions regarding Services Marketing, Price Management, Customer Relationship Management and Business-to-Business Marketing. As a result we offer applied research results as well as various possibilities for cooperation. We consider ourselves to be an open-minded cooperation partner and offer the following forms of collaboration:
Guest lectures and case studies of companies
By cooperating closely with companies, we want to provide students with valuable insights into the business world and particularly relevant questions which emerge in companies. Present your company during a guest lecture and talk about your everyday work as well as not-so-trivial tasks and challenges. In doing so, our students can support you by developing and presenting solutions for your business cases. A team of students will work on your questions via case studies. Give students an insight into your company - such as Aldi, PERI or Würth have done before.
Consultation of companies
Our team with practical experience is happy to give advise in our research areas. Furthermore, we are the right contact in terms of market research and data analysis. We are also pleased to mediate contacts for market and tourism research to CenTouris.
Theses in cooperation with companies
Company-related theses offer numerous advantages to both students and companies. The selection of the students and topics occurs in close coordination between the company and Chair of Marketing and Services. Students are expected to prove their scientific capability by writing their theses. Thereby companies can bring expert knowledge, data and their own questions. We will take over the competent supervision through an employee of the Chair of Marketing and Services. Next to the development of business-relevant topics, companies will have the opportunity to get in touch with talented and engaged students. This can be interesting for both sides with regard to a possible employment.
