In March 2022, Professor Manfred Krafft spent three weeks at the Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The primary goal of the stay was to promote cooperation efforts between the Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the WWU on various levels. On the one hand, an exchange program between the universities is to be established, which is to be implemented department-wide at the level of students, doctoral candidates and lecturers.

The team of the Marketing Center Münster announces that Professor Raoul Kübler will leave the Marketing Center Münster at the end of the coming summer semester to join ESSEC Business School in Paris as an Associate Professor of Marketing.

While the MCM is sad to lose a highly esteemed colleague and friend, we wish Raoul Kübler all the best for the next step in his career path. While it always comes as a disappointment to lose a valued colleague to another school, we acknowledge that ESSEC, as a world-renowned business school, is high-level competition.

As part of this year’s Consumer Behavior master course, Carolin Müller from Henkel Beauty Care was invited to the Chair of Marketing Management to share practical course-related insights.

As Brand Activation Manager for the #1 hair styling brand Taft, she introduced students to the way of working in a professional marketing organization while providing a deeper understanding of how consumer behavior is actively incorporated into brand management. By for instance illustrating to the students how the relaunch of the iconic Taft in 2021 was implemented.

The master students of the course “Consumer Behavior” were given many valuable insights into the basic principles of psychology in a guest lecture given by Anna-Gesina Hülemeier, a research associate and doctoral student at the University of Münster's Department of Psychology.
