Doctoral Dissertation

Subject

Category Management is an innovative vertical marketing concept especially dealing with marketing co-operations between producers and retailers of consumer products. The doctorate thesis will contain an empirical study that deals with consumer reponse aspects of that management concept.

As of now, companies doing CM are rather concerned with measuring only hard economic effects of CM without referring these to changes in consumer buying behavior. This study will exactly do this and like that, offer a tool for producers to put relations with retailers on more objective grounds.

Diploma Thesis

Subject

There are only few topics in marketing that are assigned that much importance in future as university marketing. Public universities in Germany suffer from lacking financial support, lacking service and customer orientation and lacking relationships with private companies. At the same time universities and single faculties need to build up public relationships, brand identities and unique profiles. It sounds like a vicious circle but there are possibilities to become more attractive even without too much financial or personnel requirements.
