oeconomicum live – Wirtschaft erleben! Können Unternehmen denken – und wenn ja, wie?

Companies move the world - in the truest sense of the word. Volkswagen, one of Germany's largest employers, employs 700,000 people worldwide. Every day, they produce 25,000 vehicles worth almost 1 billion euros. But companies are more than the sum of their employees. They are independent corporate players from whom we as a society have high expectations: successful products and innovations, attractive and secure jobs, financial profitability or contributions to climate protection. But how does such a corporate actor function? Do companies have something like a "brain" of their own that guides them, and if so, how? And can they really contribute to improving society? With a view to the hidden institutional logic of business life, economics provides answers that are as surprising as they are optimistic. Discover with Prof. Dr. Barbara E. Weißenberger (Heinrich Heine University) how companies work and what opportunities they offer for a successful future and immerse yourself in the fascinating world of business in companies!
