Nordhausen - Why do established companies fail to make radical changes, while others triumph despite having the same resources? Dr Max Schรผlting (alumnus of Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences/University of Jena) has investigated this question in his dissertation. His research dispels the preconception that success is only a question of budget. In his dissertation, the alumnus of the Innovation and Change Management programme investigated the conditions under which companies successfully innovate their business models - and when they fail to do so despite having the resources and skills to do so. The work was supervised by Prof Dr Matthias Menter, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, and Prof Dr Lutz Gรถcke, Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences.
