This Event is organized by the Department of Global Business and Trade

Many strategies used successfully in sports can be transferred to management. But the exchange of ideas between sports and management research is still very limited in Austria. This event will feature panelists Nina Burger and Sebastian Prödl, two former top athletes who are now working at the interface between sports and management. We’ll also be presenting recent studies carried out at the intersection of these two fields and show how sports and management can learn from each other.
