Strong result for Kassel business administration in the WiWo ranking
"A very strong performance," commented the Dean of the School of Business and Economics, Prof. Dr. Patrick Spieth, on the ranking recently published by Wirtschaftswoche magazine. It lists top researchers in business administration from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, both from universities and research institutes. The ranking is based on publications from the past five years, weighted according to the reputation of the journals. The University of Kassel is represented several times.
Prof. Dr. Jan Marco Leimeister, who holds professorships in Kassel and St. Gallen, is listed in 12th place. Prof. Spieth follows in 37th place and Prof. Dr. Matthias Söllner in 83rd place. Prof. Dr. Stefan Seuring is the fourth scientist from Kassel to make it into the top 100 (94th place).
Söllner (18th) as well as Prof. Dr. Andre Hanelt (41st), Prof. Dr. Christoph Peters (48th) and Dr. Andreas Janson (86th) are also listed in the special "Young and Wild" ranking, which focuses on researchers under the age of 40. Leimeister (10th), Seuring (80th) and Spieth (217th) are also listed in the "Lifetime achievement" ranking, which takes into account all articles ever published.
"The ranking proves that our research into business administration is at the cutting edge and, above all, top-notch," said a delighted Spieth. "It also shows that we can offer our students a course that incorporates the latest research findings."
In its ranking, Wirtschaftswoche considered around 3,000 (five-year ranking), around 470 (under-40 ranking) and around 3,600 (life ranking) academics. It is published here (paywall):
