Sebastian Luca Blüggel

This March, my teammate Yannick Saenger and I had the thrilling opportunity to represent Frankfurt School of Finance & Management at the HEC Business Game 2025, an intense and dynamic case competition that brings together some of the brightest young minds in business.

Trusting Experts – Part I: Should we be independent thinkers?

Derek Baker

The ideal of the independent thinker has been central to our intellectual culture. The great Enlightenment philosopher Immanuel Kant wrote that “Have courage to use your own reason!” could be called the motto of enlightenment.
