1 Preliminary Remarks

According to the examination regulations, a thesis is defined as an independent

scientific achievement. Therefore, we expect that your work meets scientific standards,

i.e., it creates knowledge. You can succeed in this if you, in particular, explore a question

We prepare you for writing your thesis in our undergraduate and graduate research

seminars. Anyone who has applied the scientific methods in their undergraduate research

seminars, bachelor thesis, and graduate research seminars is well prepared for the master

thesis. Conversely, those who still have not taken the first learning steps start their thesis

with a deficit.

To get an impression about how high-level scientific papers look like, you can

refer to articles in renowned international journals in the fields of marketing,

management/organization, or innovation management. Such level is to be strived for.

Conversely, you should explicitly not refer to articles in practice-oriented journals such

as the Manager Magazine or Harvard Business Review. Journals like this serve a

different purpose and often ignore scientific standards.

The following explanations serve as a guideline when preparing assignments
