Bold and Entrepreneurial.

Curiosity-driven and Research-led

Each of the JKU Business School’s three divisions (Finance & Accounting, Management & Marketing, and Supply Chain & Information Management) include high-profile researchers working at the forefront of their respective subject areas as a driving force behind a new-knowledge generation. When it comes to successful knowledge transfer, our faculty members’ insight and expertise serves as a solid foundation, both in the classroom and when it comes to real-world business practices.
