Human Resource Management shapes how organizations assign their human resources in an effective, responsible, and forward-looking manner. Our research combines strategic and operational perspectives and views human resources as an integral part of corporate value creation. We focus on the long-term orientation of human resource management, its role in interplay with corporate leadership, and its ongoing professionalization.

In doing so, we take into account both fundamental theoretical concepts and current developments that lead to sustainable organizational change. At the same time, our research tracks the transformation of Human Resource Management as a corporate function and examines how it can evolve and reposition itself under changing conditions. We understand Human Resource Management as a field of design that must enable both stability and adaptability—and thus contributes decisively to the performance and future viability of organizations.
