The seminar introduces Master and PhD students doing research in the field of sustainability to the most important management theories. The goal is to enable participants to decide, which theoretical perspectives to use in their own projects and enhance the chance of publishing in top-ranked journals. In addition, students will practice how to evaluate theories and derive practical implications.

Addressing current societal and ecological challenges, such as climate change, requires a major transformation of the mobility sector. Drawing on case studies and insights from the academic literature, the course provides an overview of the required changes and discusses the measures that allow individuals, organizations, societies, and policy makers to successfully manage this transition.
