New Junior Professorship for International Management with German-Polish Focus at HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management

[HHL gGmbH - 08.04.2013] On April 1, 2013, Dr. Tobias Dauth was appointed Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Junior Professor for International Management at HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management.

Dr. Dauth, 30, studied Business Administration at Pforzheim University, the Kelley School of Business in Indiana, USA, and ESCP Europe Business School in Berlin. In Berlin, he received his doctorate in August 2012, graduating summa cum laude, following his dissertation on the internationality of top managers. At HHL, he will focus his research and teaching activities on maintaining and expanding German-Polish scientific relations. Thanks to his work, he will strengthen HHL's position as an important gateway to Central and Eastern Europe.

HHL Dean Prof. Dr. Andreas Pinkwart says: "Due to its location at the heart of Europe, HHL would like to sharpen its internationalization profile by cooperating with outstanding economists and young academics in this field from neighboring Central and Eastern European States. This applies in particular to the Republic of Poland. Thanks to the support of the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation, HHL would like to intensify its existing cooperation with the best faculties of economics in Poland through mutual teaching activities, inviting Polish guest scientists to HHL as well as exchanges between students and doctoral candidates using scholarship programs to secure quality. Additionally, the latest management techniques are to be taught to managers who are trained in the Executive Education programs by HHL and its Polish partner universities on a regular basis."

The new Junior Professorship also comes with more opportunities for regional cooperation. Within the framework of established scientific collaboration, HHL and the Leipzig-based Fraunhofer-Zentrum für Mittel- und Osteuropa MOEZ (Fraunhofer Center for Central and Eastern Europe) expand their partnership in the fields of economy, science and politics in order to establish a network and cooperation between the stakeholders of the Central and Eastern European growth markets.
