List of Master theses topics at the Strategy Subject Area

Master theses at the Strategic Management subject area are supervised by Professor Reitzig or Professor Keck, depending on the topic.

However, most Master thesis candidates closely co-ordinate with other members of the subject area as well.

Find the updated list of topics here. You can apply for topics listed under 'Available Topics', although topics marked as "allocated" are currently under consideration for a specific supervision applicant. (They may become freely available again, if applicants decide on different topics.) Those listed separately as previous topics/completed theses are no longer available.

As it often happens that many students apply for the same topic, you may, however, be offered a topic different from the one you applied for, if necessary.

Please note: We generally update the list once a semester.

Can data integration improve consumer demand planning in the photovoltaic industry.

Forecasting customer demand is a critical business process in most industries. Forecasting solutions in business practice often focus on manual forecasting (“expert forecasts”) or timeseries forecasting. However, these approaches neglect the explanatory power of important external factors for customer demand and may thus lead to poor forecast accuracy in the volatile business environment of the PV industry.

The goal of this work is to assess whether integrating internal and auxiliary data (e.g., historical data, seasonalities, expert forecasts, time series forecasts, customer demand signals, market data, price developments, Google trends, …) can be leveraged to build a feature-driven demand forecasting model and to improve the demand forecast accuracy at BayWa r.e. Solar Energy Systems.

This thesis requires solid knowledge of and experience with R / Python as well as experience with Machine Learning.

Supervisior: Prof. Dr. Dominik Papies with Dr. David Scheuermann (BayWa r.e. Solar Energy Systems)

Can ChatGPT read and interpret the Terms of Service of other platforms and services

Many platforms and services provide Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and that are many pages long and that would take hours and hours to read and understand. This leads to the undesirable situation that many users accept these policies and terms without reading them.

The goal of this work is to assess whether we can leverage large language models (LLMs like ChatGPT) to understand, interpret, and summarize these terms and conditions for us.

This thesis requires knowledge of and experience with R / python as well as experience with Machine Learning

Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Dominik Papies

The problem of zero in log-log regressions

The workhorse model in applied econometrics, economics, marketing, and other disciplines is a regression model that involves taking the log of one or more variables. This, however, is difficult if one or more values of the relevant variables involve zeros because the natural logarithm of zero is infinity. It is not obvious whether adding a (small) positive constant to zero is a generally valid solution.

The goal of this work is to assess different approaches (e.g., Poisson regression) of how to deal with this problem on simulated and real data sets and to provide guidance and best practice recommendations to applied researchers.

This thesis requires knowledge of and experience with R / python as well as good econometric knowledge.

Competition in the German gasoline market

The German gasoline market differs from other gasoline markets because it is characterized by a very high frequency of price changes, i.e., a typical gas station changes its prices multiple times a day. The question that arises is to what extent these price changes are predictable and whether dynamic cycles of price increases or decreases are always initiated by the same stations or brands, or whether these patterns are entirely unpredictable.

To address these questions, the thesis will analyze a large data set that contains all price changes of all stations in the German gasoline market over several years. 

This thesis requires knowledge of R and reasonable econometric knowledge.

Supervisor: Jun.-Prof. Dr. Wiebke Keller

New (machine learning) methods for causal inference  

• In recent years, a multitude of new methods for causal inference from observational data have been developed by researchers from very different fields (econometrics, machine learning, computer science, epidemiology, ...). Examples include, among others, double machine learning, causal forests, deep instrumental variables, front-door adjustment, causal discovery, and targeted maximum likelihood. In many cases, these methods have laid the theoretical groundwork, but have not yet been applied widely to typical questions from business or economics.   
• The goal of this thesis is to select from these methods and a) compare multiple methods from different disciplines that have the same goal, and/or b) assess the applicability of one of the new methods to typical research questions and datasets from business and economics, and/or c) explore how results from influential studies in business and economics (using traditional methods) would change, when one of the new methods is applied.  
• This thesis is suitable for students who have experience with empirical work, good programming skills in R or Python, and reasonable econometric knowledge.  
• Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Dominik Papies with Jonathan Fuhr, M.Sc.

The Best Final Theses in 2022

March 27, 2023

More than 170 final theses were submitted to the examination office of Munich Business School in 2022. Four of them stood out in particular: They are the best theses of the year and were included in the MBS Outstanding Thesis series. In the blog article, we present the topics of the theses in more detail and let the honorees and their supervisors have their say.

As in the previous year , the best theses of 2022 demonstrate that bachelor’s and master’s theses are not only the icing on the cake on the way to graduation, but can also make a valuable contribution to research on current topics. “Best”, by the way, does not only refer to an outstanding grade; the theses should primarily convince through innovative approaches and methods as well as new findings.

And now, clear the ring for the best theses of 2022!

Mitigating, Managing and Moving Past Burnout: An Organizational Perspective on Mental and Physical Well-Being

Bachelor’s thesis by gavin trudeau.

Gavin Trudeau, graduate of the bachelor’s program International Business at MBS, deals in his bachelor’s thesis with the topic of burnout, which has become more present in society as well as in medicine and the workplace in recent years. On the basis that burnout is not just an isolated feeling of overwhelm, but a syndrome which is experienced after ongoing negative experiences that and poses great dangers to organizations and their employees, Gavin Trudeau discusses causes, symptoms, and prevention strategies. By combining a comprehensive literature review with empirical research consisting of a self-reporting survey and in-depth interviews, the bachelor’s graduate succeeds in painting a “holistic picture” that reveals “not only what causes stress at the workplace but also shows the drivers as well as appropriate measures at the company and their relation to avoid negative impacts” – say the thesis supervisors Prof. Dr. Arnd Albrecht and Evelyn Albrecht-Goepfert.

We asked Gavin Trudeau how he came to address the topic of burnout in his bachelor’s thesis:

“I have always been interested in psychology and the importance of mental health so it was important for me to bring those two elements into my thesis and relate it to current issues I had been witnessing in the business landscape. At the time I started thinking about my topic we were still in the depths of the pandemic, and working from home was still mandatory for most people. I was seeing and hearing so many examples of people from my network experiencing abnormal levels of stress at their jobs and having difficulties adapting to the new way of life and working, which ultimately led me to the topic of burnout prevention, stress reduction and health promotion. I thought these topics were extremely relevant and also forward thinking. The importance of mental health in the workplace is on the rise and starting to be seen as equally important as physical health. My motivation for this research was to be able to provide valuable and insightful data and recommendations so that CEO’s, managers, entrepreneurs and employees can integrate these learnings into their lives to create healthier and more positive work environments.”

Bootstrapping New Networks – Incentivization Strategies to Leverage Network Effects within Digital Platforms by Using Blockchain Technology

Master’s thesis by philipp wohlfart.

Start-ups must deal with the “cold start” problem and especially for platforms that fight the “chicken and egg” dilemma, building an initial user base is a major challenge. Since new emerging technologies such as blockchain technology have so far received only little attention in research on this topic, although they promise attractive solutions, Philipp Wohlfart addresses this issue in his master’s thesis. The Innovation and Entrepreneurship graduate explores the question of how blockchain technology can help to bootstrap new networks by using token incentives when application utility is still missing. To answer the question, Phillip Wohlfart conducted six semi-structured experts interviews – with the result that token incentives can support in many ways.

“From the factual coverage to the method to the results, a truly outstanding work: logically argued, well researched, and very structured and transparently presented. Phillip Wohlfarts findings have both theoretical and practical implications for stakeholder management and alignment within platforms. They also provide insight into how to create, evaluate or analyze sustainable blockchain-based platform designs.” Prof. Dr. Anne Tryba, supervisor of the thesis and former Professor for Entrepreneurship at MBS

Analysis of the Impact of Customer Experience Management Among B2B Companies in the Construction Industry

Mba master’s thesis by sarim mehtab hasan.

While B2C companies have been firmly incorporating customer experience management (CXM) strategies into their business models for quite some time and there is accordingly sufficient research on the subject, the relevance of CXM in the B2B context has only recently been repeatedly emphasized. To investigate the importance of CXM in the context of his master’s thesis, Sarim Mehtab Hasan chooses the construction industry, for which the requirement of customer experience is even more vital due to diverse stakeholders. Interviews with senior professionals from construction companies show that the construction industry is still traditional, focuses on short-term returns, which doesn’t align with customer’s needs, and overall lacks awareness of CXM and its benefits. Sarim Hasan uses these – rather sobering – results to derive recommendations as well as short- and long-term implementation strategies for the construction industry in terms of customer experience, which earned his thesis the rating “outstanding”.

We asked Sarim Hasan what it means to him that his thesis in the MBA General Management was awarded as MBS Outstanding Thesis:

It was my first time writing a thesis and I learnt a lot during the entire process. Not only was I able to get an extensive understanding of the topic of CXM in the B2B environment but also improve my personal & professional skills. This, combined with the experience I gained from the business projects during my studies at MBS, really elevated my capability to manage projects effectively, which is something I currently apply on a daily basis in my full-time job. Getting this award gave a substantial boost to my confidence levels, especially to take on new risks for a higher reward, and validated the importance of CXM in today’s customer-driven business world. After working for almost 8 months in a customer-facing role post-MBA, I can undoubtedly confirm that my thesis has played a major role in my performance as a Customer Experience Manager at A2MAC1 and I hope that other business students find value in my research and take it even further.

Economic Evaluation of Digitized Health Data for the German Health Care System Using the Example of the Electronic Health Record

Mba master’s thesis by dr. sven grösgen.

Dr. Sven Grösgen dedicates his final thesis to a highly topical and explosively discussed subject: Germany’s plans to introduce of an electronic patient record. Such a digital file promises not only to improve healthcare, but also to have a positive impact on the economy. However, the status quo is that only 1.8% of total annual spending has been devoted to driving digitization in healthcare, while per capita spending continues to rise at the same time. With a general analysis of the electronic patient record and a detailed cost benefit analysis, Sven Grösgen shows that digital storage of health data has potential to counteract inefficiencies in healthcare and that the costs would be offset within the first ten years. In addition, the MBA graduate advocates an “opt-out” instead of an “opt-in” model and provides further impulses on how the implementation of an electronic patient record can be increased and further developed into an electronic health record.

“The author provides a very good and knowledgeable overview of existing literature and discusses all relevant aspects of the topic. At the time of the research, various reservations of both medical practitioners and patients shaped the discourse, so the focus on the economic benefits is particularly enlightening. As the relevance of the topic has recently increased even more, reading this thesis can be recommended to anyone seeking a sound basis on this topic area.” Prof. Dr. Eva Stumpfegger and Prof. Dr. Florian Bartholomae about why they decided to nominate Sven Grösgen’s thesis as MBS Outstanding Thesis
