In spring 2022, Pauline Mengede took part in a course called „Managing War“ by Prof. Dr. Guido Möllering at the University of Witten/Herdecke. This bachelor course was based on course material of the Times of Crisis course „The Case of War and Armed Conflict“, co-organized by Prof. Möllering.

Inspired by this experience, Pauline then conducted a bachelor thesis on the topic “Shareholder- and Stakeholder-Orientation in the Context  of Corporate Political Advocacy using the Example of the Boycott of Russia by Companies due to the War in Ukraine“. Recently, Pauline was awarded the Serafin Research Prize for excellent theses at the University of Witten/Herdecke.

A summary of Pauline’s thesis can be found here.

We congratulate you, Pauline! What an excellent thesis and what a great example of how our Organizing in Times of Crisis course can also inspire young academic talents!
