Why accadis?
Nine points for accadis

There are many universities that offer studies in economic science. Which one is right for you depends especially
on the education institution‘s philosophy – and this is not necessarily a question of good or bad, right or wrong.
Rather, it is important whether the philosophy and profile of an institution matches your expectations and values or not.
Therefore, we openly state our self-image as expressed through the following nine elements.

Digital change drives
both our economy
and society. Keywords
such as Transforma-
tion, Big Data, the In-
ternet of Things or In-
dustry 4.0 accompany
the current market disruption. Entire work
sectors are disappearing, while digitiza-
tion is creating many new positions. The
industry therefore needs leaders who can
confidently manage and strategically
align digital transformation processes ac-
ross national borders. This involves more
than merely automating selected proces-
ses with the aid of technology. In order to
not miss the boat, managers must ques-
tion all previous business models. Suc-
cess requires them to be able to imple-
ment the resulting new approaches into
the existing business environment with
caution. I invite you to learn how to de-
sign and implement digitally oriented
corporate strategies in an innovative and
stakeholder-friendly manner during your
studies here at accadis.

The sports business in
a global context has
been undergoing ra-
dical changes. Leaders
in sports manage-
ment must be prepa-
red! Sport talents from
around the globe are pushing their way
onto sport markets (sport clubs, sport
leagues, sport events, sport businesses),
which have already been operating at an
international level for a long time. These
sport talents expect skillful staff to recog-
nize their potential and to foster and pro-
mote it. Strategies and skills, being able
to adopt an intercultural mentality,
understand diversity as a beneficial quali-
ty and take up on opportunities for res-
ponsible development - all of these fac-
tors are what is called for here. Attaining
all of these skills is indeed possible, and a
sustainable graduate program as this
one at accadis, will successfully prepare
you for all of these challenges.

Digital change and the
internationalization of
marketing are driving
the highly professio-
nalized football busi-
ness. New jobs are
being created in these
areas and companies are testing comple-
mentary business models - all with the
aim of monetizing a football club‘s brand
in various sectors and an increased glo-
bal reach. In order to achieve this, the in-
dustry needs business management ex-
perts who have a basic knowledge of
sports business and an understanding of
the opportunities and challenges of digi-
talization. In addition, they must be able
to work with confidence in an interna-

optimally prepare you for these require-
ments in the International Football

The fascination and si-
gnificance of the
luxury goods world
remains unabated.
Nevertheless, brand
and luxury goods do
not only stand for qua-
lity with a corresponding price tag. The
emotional benefit and the special added
value which the goods instill also warrants
a high level of customer satisfaction For
this reason not only top earners show in-
terest in high quality product groups, but
also an epicurist clientele which wishes to
avail itself of exclusivity as a unique pro-
duct reference. High quality, specific
worlds of experience and the prominent
significance of objects of fascination be-
long to the classic luxury consumer world
to the same extent as does the extraordi-
nary status of a top customer. This rela-
tively new and professionally developed
marketing sector includes dealing with a
broad group of exclusive products; the
factors of success you will learn to be fami-
liar with and apply creatively and innova-

The global success fac-
tors of products do
not make halt at bor-
ders. Instead they
open a perspective for
comprehensive strate-
gy scenarios. Those
products which can be standardized and
are therefore less culture-bound, e.g. fast
food or high-tech products, belong to the
range of services provided by global busi-
nesses. An increasingly significant and
also culturally observable comparability
of need and demand in turn requires
competitive offerings. With the focused
competence development in our Global
Marketing Management program we
give you access to this extremely exciting
worldwide perspective which encompas-
ses all significant marketing activities as a
global player. You will sharpen your trans-
national focus on cross-cultural groups,
i.e. target audiences of global relevance,
with conceptual and application oriented
reasoning as well as with practice orien-
ted case studies of a global nature. Our

Cross-functional
know-how in busi-
ness administration is
the prerequisite for
a career path into
senior management.
Beyond a strong
grasp of one’s own expertise, it is impor-
tant to be able to carry out discussions
with colleagues on equal footing.
Strategic options need to be assessed
from all sides in order to identify the
best decision for the company. To this
end, future managers head back “to
school” in order align their practical
experience from their own functional
areas of responsibility with the most
current theoretical approaches. More-
over their knowledge and skills in other
functional areas of business admini-
stration are expanded as they gain a
stronger international perspective and
an understanding of the present
