Research at FHWien der WKW

Research carried out by FHWien der WKW is organized in the Institute for Business Ethics & Sustainable Strategy and the Research within the Study Programs.

The Institute for Business Ethics and Sustainable Strategy (IBES) conducts research in the fields of Business Ethics and Strategy. Urgent issues in ecologically, economically and socially sustainable corporate management are examined against the background of relevant topics such as globalisation, climate change and digitalisation.

The focus of practice-led research at FHWien der WKW is on knowledge transfer to businesses. We seize upon impulses and questions from companies and organizations and work on practically relevant solutions and methodically robust insights in research projects. The practice-led research at FHWien der WKW is conducted in the Study Programs.

Research within the Study Programs

FHWien der WKW departments engage in practice-led research with a strong focus on the specific career fields covered by their degree programs. For this practice-led research work, FHWien der WKW and its departments work in close collaboration with private-sector clients, national and international universities and funding agencies.

This is in line with FHWien der WKW’s clear objective of helping organizations to master new challenges and exploit their innovation potential, even in economically difficult times.
