WHU students aspire to leadership positions in business and society. In these positions, students will face dilemmas that put pressure on their personalities and values. Faced with these challenges, my teaching follows the principle of “Giving Voice to Values”. A principle that encourages students to express their values in business and thus contribute to a humane economy.
I also believe that future leaders should be able to make management decisions based on solid evidence. It is therefore crucial that I equip managers with the most advanced techniques for causal inference. I strongly believe that the best way for students to learn these methods is to try them out and do them themselves. Therefore, my courses include a large amount of group interaction, discussion, and field work.
Microeconomics & Business Experiments (MBA)
This course combines microeconomic theory with hands-on experimental methods to improve business decision-making. Students explore how consumers and firms behave, how markets function, and how strategic interactions shape outcomes. Through interactive lectures and real-world cases, participants learn to design, run, and interpret business experiments—from pricing and incentives to behavioral interventions.
Business Ethics (Bachelor, BSc)
This course equips students to recognize, analyze, and address ethical challenges in business with clarity and confidence. You will learn to think, judge, and organize ethically—combining philosophical theory with behavioral insights and practical tools for decision-making. We begin with foundational moral theories such as utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics, then examine how real people make moral choices through behavioral business ethics. Finally, we explore how to embed ethics in organizations through culture, leadership, and systems, using approaches like Giving Voice to Values (GVV).
Through classic texts, research, and case studies, you’ll learn to navigate moral complexity, act on your values, and promote integrity in business practice.

Introduction to Economics (MLB)
This course introduces key microeconomic concepts essential for law and business students. It explores how markets function—through demand, supply, and equilibrium—and applies these ideas to real-world issues such as price caps and regulation. Students engage in interactive case studies and group presentations to deepen their understanding. The second part of the course examines imperfect competition, including game theory and cartels, emphasizing the practical application of economic reasoning to business and legal contexts.
