Welcome to the Chair for Entrepreneurship at the University of St.Gallen. We focus our research and teaching on entrepreneurial thinking and acting. In addition, we encourage and support entrepreneurs at the HSG in making entrepreneurial decisions.

Team Chair for Entrepreneurship at ITEM-HSG

Based on a decision-making perspective, we analyze relevant research questions concerning the entrepreneurial process of discovering, creating, evaluating, and exploiting entrepreneurial opportunities with high relevance for entrepreneurial practice. Our teaching concept is designed to provide profound theoretical and practice-oriented skills needed for being, acting, and thinking entrepreneurial.

The team of our chair is led by Professor Dr. Dietmar Grichnik. Dr. Ronny Baierl and Dr. Christian Koropp support him as post-doctoral researchers. Maria Fantetti and Florian Forster serve as research assistants. Dr. Rainer Lauterbach and Katrin Haug are research affiliates to the chair. Elke Feyerherd completes the team as personal assistant.
