Clarissa Ruth Marie Schott

Clarissa’s research focuses on organizational responsibility in and of the future regarding grand challenges. Specifically, she engages with ethical as well as calculative methods to conceptualize (visualize, quantify, and (e)valuate) the future to motivate organizational climate action. Therefore, her focus lies in supervising theses that circle around the individual/ collective responsibility (of the organization) in regard to climate action, temporal dimensions of decision-making and strategizing, and analyzing the impact of (intergenerational) justice, equality, and equity for and in organizations. Clarissa is also happy to delve into sustainability-related topics of accounting and finance and related ethical problems, challenges, and questions that arise through the depiction and application of respective models, mechanisms, and processes (in the organization).
