Research Focus

The Department of Marketing significantly contributes to the generation and dissemination of new marketing knowledge. We strive for generating novel insights that combine academic rigor with practical relevance to make a significant impact on the international academic community, the current business practice, the professional development of our students, and society-​at-large.

Our research is published in the leading international journals of our field (e.g., Journal of Marketing, Journal of Marketing Research, Marketing Science) and related disciplines (e.g., Management Science, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology). Our work is also frequently featured in various influential local (e.g., Handelsblatt, Regal, der Standard, die Presse) and international media outlets that focus on the dissemination of high-​profile research into business practice (e.g., Harvard Business Review, Business Horizons, MIT Sloan Management Review).

An overview of all publications and research areas of the department's scientists is provided by PURE.
