RISE Projects

RISE Projects analyzes strategic and entrepreneurial questions in a process-oriented, context-sensitive and case-based approach, along a jointly defined research agenda. RISE Projects as a format is based on the assertion (and experience) that precise, methodologically sound and jointly reflected descriptions and explanations are practically relevant. Key observations and findings are consolidated and presented in detail, discussed with its implications, and translated into particular initiatives. A bilateral research project requires financial engagement and personal involvement of experienced executives and senior managers of the company partner. The research activities are conducted by senior researchers.
