A Holistic Approach to Digital Management
Prof. Dr. Julian Kawohl pursues a holistic visionary perspective on the future of digital management in his professorship at the University of Applied Sciences in Berlin. Following a comprehensive "Leibniz approach", his aim is to understand and analyze the essential levers and success factors of digital transformation in a broader context, and to make them tangible for management practice through concrete, best practice-oriented recommendations for action and implementation. He combines scientific rigor with high practical impact ("for the practice, with the practice"). The basis for this approach is the constant "change between worlds" of corporates and startups.
Transforming Companies for the Digital Age
The central objective of Prof. Dr. Kawohl's research, speaking, and advisory activities is to demonstrate to (top) management the opportunities that exist, particularly for established SMEs, hidden champions, and corporations, to learn from startups and transform themselves sustainably into modern, innovative, and agile companies of the digital age. To this end, a deliberately broad research and consulting approach is chosen, which includes topics such as digital tools, channels and platforms, digital strategies, ecosystems and business models, as well as digital leadership, organization, and culture. The desired progress in knowledge primarily aims at developing practice-oriented management concepts as well as deriving individual success factors of the acting players such as digital superstars, (corporate) entrepreneurs, young leaders, managers, etc.
