Top Publication by Florentin Hildebrandt and Marlin Ulmer Released
The first publication in the top-tier journal Management Science (VHB rating "A+") by a member of our faculty, Prof. Franz Wirl, appeared in 1996. Just over 20 years later, in 2017, then-junior professor Sabrina Jeworrek achieved the second publication in this prestigious journal.
We are now proud to announce a third publication in Management Science!
Congratulations to Florentin Hildebrandt and Marlin Ulmer from the Chair of Management Science, as well as their co-authors A. Strauss and Ž. Lesjak, on their paper:
"Integrated Fleet and Demand Control for On-Demand Meal Delivery Platforms"
Prof. Ulmer explains:
“We analyze how the positioning of restaurants within delivery apps influences user choices, using extensive real-world transaction data. Based on these insights, we develop an integrated and dynamic approach to optimize both customer decision-making and fleet management. Methodologically, we apply techniques such as Transformer Reinforcement Learning—similar to those used in large language models (LLMs).”

Saxony-Anhalt goes Digital - State Minister Dr. Lydia Hüskens at FEM
Approximately 30 faculty members from the Faculty of Economics and Management enjoyed an interesting evening packed with exciting information and discussions. The Dean of the Faculty, Prof. Dr. Karim Sadrieh, invited faculty members and the State Minister Dr. Lydia Hüskens, responsible for the field “Infrastructure and Digital Affairs” in Saxony-Anhalt, to a fireside evening on 7th May at the Faculty Center.
What can we expect when politics meets science? This initial skepticism of one or the other participant was quickly eased. The Minister was accompanied by State Secretary and CIO of the state, Bernd Schlömer. His opening speech on the topic “Digitalization as a driver of innovation for Saxony-Anhalt”, started a lively discussion about reducing bureaucratic hurdles, establishing a new culture that allows for mistakes, a suitable support for local start-ups, etc.
Last but not least, Dr. Kathrin Meyer-Pinger – was awarded with the Faculty's Special Award for “Excellent Research Achievements and Outstanding Commitment”. Congratulations!
