How can witty visionaries - Founders for Future - change the world positively with succesful new companies? And why should they even do that? This booklet presents four important elements and a step-by-step model that show pragmatically how a "Lean Startup" with "Deep Impact" can become reality. Concise, practice-oriented and well-founded.

Managing International Political Risk: Arising Challenges for Multinationals in a Changing World
(2018)
Political risk management is a basic area especially for multinational companies to study particularly these days. In the current global environment of high political risks and policy uncertainty, it is valuable to examine the evolution of political risk perceptions of multinationals and also the tools and techniques they use to skilfully manage such risks. It is an imperative for companies, countries, business professionals and politicians, to get together for discussion about future developments and about options for securing global solidarity to the good of people and business in existing normative frameworks.
In this respect, Würzburg International Business Forum’s International Business Conference (24-25 May 2018) brought academics, professionals, business people and representatives of the public sector from the world together to analyse the current situation, trying to foresee future developments regarding political risk management within the framework of foreign direct investment and all other activities of multinational corporations.
The current global financial and economic crisis has created an unprecedented recession and very high employment in addition to huge environmental and social problems. All these have stimulated discussions among economists regarding the need for a new paradigm allowing »fairness«, »ethics«, »social and ecologic responsibility« and »sustainability« to come to the fore in the economic system.
Academic Values
(2019)
The mission of universities worldwide requires a harmonic portfolio of good values that promote the pursuit of scientific excellence in research and teaching. As academic education refers to the upcoming requirements of tomorrow’s world, it not just comprehends the gathering of new knowledge. Even more important, academic education also enables students to acquire competencies to arrange and position this knowledge within the context of the future. This helps at the same time in the transformation of our societies into harmonic and sustainable societies. This discussion paper provides a proposal for such a value set and shows how it prepares students to meet the challenges of new work.
FOUNDERS 4 FUTURE
(2020)
This publication explains based on the practice-oriented values management cycle how purposeful management of values will succeed.
Contemporary management of values as basis of sustainability in corporate development and governance and credible sustainable management takes into account visible and invisible factors from people and organization. Embedded in the basic understanding of questions of meaning, purpose and the worldviews of the acting people, it is a long-term task to identify, manage and further develop a unique portfolio of values that optimally connects and supports strategy in the company in a discourse-ethical and reflexive manner.
The practice-oriented "values management cycle" shows how purposeful management of values will succeed.
Contemporary management of values as basis of sustainability in corporate development and governance and credible sustainable management takes into account people and organization simultaneously in their interaction. Embedded in the basic understanding of meaning, purpose and the worldviews of the acting people, it is a long-term task to identify, manage and further develop a unique portfolio of values that connects and supports vision, mission and strategy of the organization in a discourse-ethical and reflexive manner.
This article examines the hiatus between constitutional principles and value-orientated practices.
It considers the risks that are at stake when the actualization of regulative principles fails in political reality, diagnosing that the political, economic, and social reality is frequently lagging far behind the potential of constitutionally guaranteed rights and duties. To this end significant parallels in the genesis of the Bavarian and the Indian Constitution are highlighted and the importance of value rankings is shown by reference to central insights of the founder of the »Soziale Marktwirtschaft« (»social market economy«) Ludwig Erhard. The authors defend the thesis that values sail in ballast when they are not part of practiced virtues. This article is the revised version of the study »The Value of Constitutional Values: An Exploratory Study of the Constitutions of India and Bavaria« first published in: Tattva. Journal of Philosophy, Vol 9, No 1, 2017, pp. 13-30; Tattva is a double blind peer-reviewed journal.

New Methods to Advise Students: A Field Experimental Approach to Test an Online Self-Assessment
(2014)
Immer höhere Studentenzahlen stellen die Hochschulen vor die Herausforderung, Studieninteressierten neue Instrumente zur Studienganswahl an die Hand zu geben. Viele Hochschulen haben hierzu webbasierte Self-Assessments eingeführt, über deren Wirkungsweise aber bisher wenig bekannt ist. Wir nutzen die Pilot-Phase der Entwicklung eines Self-Assessments, um mit Hilfe eines Feldexperiments eine neue Datenbasis zur quantitativen Beurteilung derartiger Selbsteinschätzungshilfen zu schaffen. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Online-Eignungsberatung einen kausalen Einfluss auf die Immatrikulationsentscheidung der Bewerber hat. Interessenten mit guten Noten und allgemeiner Hochschulreife weisen eine höhere Teilnahmewahrscheinlichkeit an der Selbsteinschätzungshilfe auf. Ferner beeinflusst das Assessment die Selbsteinschätzung der Bewerber hinsichtlich ihres zukünftigen Studienerfolgs. Insgesamt zeigt sich aber auch, dass die Teilnahmeneigung der Bewerber an (freiwilligen) Self-Assessments noch relativ gering ist
