Are you fit enough for alternative M&As?

Johannes Gerds

Digital transformation, green energy and e-mobility illustrate new strategic challenges that many business leaders face today. According to recent market surveys, one of two companies plans for Joint Ventures or Alliances to master these challenges. However, most deal-makers are not fit enough for alternative M&As. That is because, since globalisation in the 1990s, Joint Ventures and Alliances have been primarily used only in a small number of specific industries.

Representing Frankfurt School at the IE BBA Case Competition in Madrid

In February, our team, comprising Cloe de Leo, Tomislav Aleksic, Vato Vepkhvadze and Martha Zoller, had the extraordinary opportunity to represent Frankfurt School at the IE Business School 2024 Case Competition in Madrid. The competition was challenging yet enlightening, pitting us against eight other globally renowned universities over one intense week.

In the fast-evolving domain of retail, the adage "location, locality, area" has never lost its significance. However, determining the optimal spot for a new retail outlet involves a complex interplay of data analysis, artificial intelligence, and a deep understanding of urban geography. My journey along with Ian, Pei and Jinjia through an academic project provided us with an invaluable perspective on these challenges.

In 4 Semestern berufsbegleitend zum Bachelor: Mein Quereinstieg in Düsseldorf

Ich blicke nun auf eine sehr intensive und auch anstrengende Zeit zurück, die ich aber stets in guter Erinnerung behalten werde.

Switching gears: Transitioning from Engineering to Management

Rahul Jain

Opting for a Master in Management degree seemed like a natural progression for me.

What makes a good business problem?

Francesca Palomo-Picache

Many startups fail because they focus too much on creating a product that seems profitable instead of first identifying whether a real problem exists. We’ve seen this happen a lot: founders build an app, promote it with fancy keywords like “AI-powered” and “revolutionary”, and then ultimately fail because people don’t need the app in the first place. To ensure your startup's success, you must prioritise identifying a significant problem to solve. Here are some concepts that could help you with this.
