Wendelin Küpers (born 1965) is a cross-disciplinary scholar and Professor of Organisation and Leadership Studies at the Karlshochschule International University .
In his phenomenological and interdisciplinary research, he examines the possibilities of integral organisational and leadership practices, organisational learning and change, corporeality, emotions and creativity, aesthetics in organisational environments and the development of a ‘pheno-practice’. On the basis of Merleau-Ponty, he seeks to contribute to an expanded and integral understanding of embodied organisational and leadership practice in relation to a sustainable and just economy and society as well as a relationship with nature.
Life
[edit]Wendelin Küpers studied economics at the University of Witten/Herdecke from 1989 to 1995, where he completed his doctorate in 1998 on the phenomenology of service quality. From 1999 to 2001, he analysed the significance of demotivation in companies in a theoretical and empirical study at the University of St. Gallen. He then worked as a research assistant to Jürgen Weibler at the University of Hagen and lectured at the University of St. Gallen and the University of Innsbruck. Following his time as Associate Professor at the School for Management at Massey University, Auckland in New Zealand, he currently teaches and researches as Professor for Leadership and Organisation Studies at Karlshochschule International University in Karlsruhe and was affiliated with ARTEM ICN Business School (Nancy, Paris, Berlin), as well as being a member of the UNESCO Chair for Research on Art and Science for Sustainable Development there.
