Last Tuesday, Lena Marie Stein-Warburg successfully defended her cumulative doctoral dissertation titled “Seal the Deal: How Similarity and Linguistic Signals Shape Investor Decisions in Entrepreneurial Pitches.” One day later, we had the pleasure of celebrating this important milestone together during the official PhD ceremony at the university.
As part of our “From Data to Insights” course, we were pleased to welcome Silvar Ribeiro (Group Controlling, BASF) as our guest speaker.
We are proud to share that our Bachelor’s elective module “Corporate Restructuring & Transformation” has received the Teaching Award for outstanding teaching in the Bachelor’s program in Business Administration for the second consecutive year, following the award in 2024.

To mark the end of the winter semester, our research associates and student assistants spent a great evening together at Dartort Münster.
The latest issue of Controlling & Management Review is out now. In the Discussion Forum on the future target model of Controlling, Martin Artz contributes to a multi-perspective debate, curated by Utz Schäffer, that brings together diverse viewpoints to spark discussion and inform practice on the future role of Controlling.
