Tabea Bereuther from the Institute for Economy and the Environment at the HSG has taken a closer look at these strategies in her dissertation. Credit Suisse and the University of St. Gallen are entering into a strategic partnership that will encompass three specific areas of funding.

They value "wisdom of the crowds" more than scientific expertise. But what about those populist leaders who are scientific experts themselves? Due to the pandemic, universities moved their lectures into the virtual space. In our new video series "In the Lab", we shed light on research projects in the making, provide insights into initial interim results and show where the research journey is headed.

In the first episode, cultural and media scientist Prof. Many companies use chatbots to communicate with their customers.

As early as , a research project was launched which offers companies a management tool for business model innovation: the "Business Model Navigator".

An interdisciplinary team led by Professor Karolin Frankenberger further developed this approach. The aim: to link the topic of sustainability and business model innovation and to develop sustainable, future-oriented business models that focus on "circular economy". Switzerland's energy supply is at a turning point: away from fossil fuels and nuclear energy and towards a sustainable energy supply using renewable energies.

Gudrun Sander on the advantages of heterogeneous teams in challenging times of crisis.

How can the diversity of employees be used to achieve corporate goals? And why is diversity management first and foremost a management task? How could the economic consequences be mitigated?

At the same time, this type of service can only be made more efficient to a limited extent, as direct interpersonal contact is often essential for its benefit.

How, for example, can visits to doctors be arranged in such a way that new technologies not only lead to greater efficiency but also to a better quality of life and treatment for patients?

Society is getting older and older, which puts the current system of old-age provision increasingly into financial distress. In addition, there are other social trends that increase the need for reform of the social security system. Against the background of these developments, the Institute of Insurance Economics at the HSG derived possible fields of action and examined their acceptance by the population. Blockchain technology could bring more transparency to global supply chains and thus ensure greater social and environmental sustainability.

First pilot projects in this area have already been launched. One of these has been accompanied by the Institute for Supply Chain Management at the HSG, which has investigated the stumbling blocks that exist for such solutions. Miriam Meckel and Prof. Damian Borth on their project "Vocally Yours" which operates at the interface of artificial intelligence and journalism.
