Aalen Department, Institute for Strategic Management (AAUF)

The research need for well-founded solutions tailored to specific types of companies is to be met in a methodologically high-quality, empirically sound and at the same time practice-oriented manner through collaboration, cooperation with practice partners.

The results recognizable from the research serve to initiate a collaboration, cooperation and transfer process for the broad practice; practical experience.

By anchoring the Aalen Department of Applied Sciences in the Structure and development plan of Aalen University of Applied Sciences, teaching is to be promoted and the professional qualification of students is to be implemented in a targeted and sustainable manner.
