"Human resources management is only successful if you put people first. Multinational companies in particular are moving from human resources to human relations. They put people, their values and culture in the foreground. A human resources manager who successfully leads internationally must have sound management knowledge and professional experience. But more than that, what counts is leadership and knowledge of human nature. Through my many years of international experience as a human resources manager in a DAX company, students should acquire the right mix of knowledge to be successful internationally as a human resources manager." -Prof. Dr. Thomas Winkelmann
