The Chair of Strategic and International Management, headed by Univ.-Prof. Dr. Thomas Hutzschenreuter invites applications as Doctoral Research Associate (m/f/d) in the field of Strategy&Global contexts.

Our research aims at helping firms to boost success. We strive to provide insights critical to business practice and create success-critical solutions for business practice. We focus on three areas: strategy in emerging technology markets, strategy & global contexts, and strategy process systems design.

The above-mentioned position focuses on the geopolitical, cultural, and technological influences of global contexts on firm strategies and strategy-making. It investigates firms' responses to environmental turbulence in global contexts.

We cooperate not only with renowned scholars at home and abroad but also with well-established corporate partners. Research results are presented at international conferences and applied to business practice. Several current and former doctoral students have won competitive funding. Former doctoral candidates of Professor Hutzschenreuter are today executives at multinational enterprises, international strategy consultancies, and private equity firms, and work at renowned business schools, among others.

Your research project is an integral part of the Chair's research and leads to co-authored developments and publications. As part of the doctoral studies at the TUM Graduate Center you will learn the methods of academic research and have access to opportunities for content-specific postgraduate courses.
