Best prospects. Your professional opportunities
Business engineers are furnished with the ability to establish connections between the modes of working and thinking that are specific to the different disciplines, and they are often deployed in companies or organisations, which deal with technological solutions from an economic point of view. The characteristic fields of professional activity for business engineers include:
- corporate planning
- production management, logistics, procurement
- controlling
- marketing, sales
- energy management
- closed-loop supply chains
- business process reengineering
In view of the current challenges brought about by increasing international competition in the production of goods and services, there is a particularly high demand for the interdisciplinary skill set of the business engineer, i.e. the ability to tackle business and technical challenges in an integrative and consistent manner.
