Consumer Goods

Extremely heterogeneous consumer behaviour and continually growing challenges for brick-and-mortar retailing: companies from the consumer goods sector are faced with such extraordinarily complex tasks. Added to this are online marketing and distribution, which place the highest requirements on FMCG manufacturers. Managers who can lead and further develop the relevant organisations with industry experience, professional know-how as well as empathy for employees and innovative strength are crucial at these points.

Retail

Trade faces major shifts and changes across and beyond all industries. In the midst of these dynamics, it is not only the market side that has to deal with how online and stationary business can be meaningfully dovetailed. The underlying processes from purchasing to logistics are also changing. Today, more than ever, management is challenged to penetrate the business and processes and be open to the opportunities of change.
