Hosted by Goodman’s CPA Ontario Centre for Public Policy and Innovation in Accounting, the event shared a similar focus as the CPA Centre’s 2023 annual symposium.

Teamwork in Organisations: a collaboration between ESB Business School, NC State University, and Université Côte d’Azur.

The collaboration between the three universities allows American students from diverse academic backgrounds to take 2-3-week courses in three European cities. The program’s structure facilitates a progressive learning journey, emphasising the significance of experiential learning and cultural immersion in shaping the leaders of tomorrow.

The journey at ESB Business School involved a 2-week intensive collaboration with German students from the Masters International Business Development (IBD) and International Accounting Controlling and Taxation (IACT).

The learning focused on the dynamics of Teamwork in Organizations: How do we work effectively in an interdependent and diverse world? How is it to work with others from different cultures? What are the different approaches to group work?

The vibrant learning ecosystem involved co-teaching and mentorship by Prof. Leigh Shamblin from NC State and Prof. Hazel Grünewald from ESB Business School. “Working in cross-functional, intercultural teams demands that individuals are open to different approaches and perspectives. We work with team charters, so individuals are forced to reflect upon their individual goals, values, strengths and weaknesses. These teams must find some degree of consensus concerning overarching aims and common values and honestly discuss strengths and weaknesses so that these can be leveraged or compensated for.” says Prof. Hazel Grünewald

New Dean for the ESB Business School: Professor Dr Markus Conrads assumes leadership role

ESB Business School has a new Dean and a new leadership team. From 1 March 2024, Professor Dr Markus Conrads will take charge of the Dean’s Office for the Reutlingen University faculty. He replaces Professor Dr Christoph Binder who held the office for four and a half years. The management team of the ESB Business School will also be restructured as of 1 March.

Professor Dr Markus Conrads studied law at the University of Münster. In 1997 he received his ‘Dr. jur.’ doctorate, which was followed by twelve years of practical work as a lawyer. In 2009 he was appointed to Reutlingen University. Since then, Professor Dr Conrads has held the Chair of German and International Business Law at the ESB Business School.

For his mandate as Dean, Professor Dr Conrads has a clear ambition: “Students want a first-class education, and employers want excellent graduates. The ESB Business School has been living up to this promise for decades and I want to ensure that it continues to do so.” This does not in any way mean standing still, but an enthusiastic engagement with cutting-edge issues, as the Dean adds: “We must introduce our students to new technologies. Artificial Intelligence will have a lasting effect on their working lives. So we must prepare them well to use the opportunities of AI successfully and responsibly.”

The new Dean of the ESB Business School will be assisted in his duties from 1 March 2024 by the newly elected faculty board: Professor Dr Jörg Büechl (Deputy Dean of ESB Business School and Vice-Dean Research), Professor Dr Jörg Naeve (Dean of Studies), and Professor Dr Anna-Lena Kotzur / Anna-Lena K. (Vice-Dean Finance and Controlling).
