FEM's research focus "Decision Design Quantitative and Experimental Economic Science" specializes into three clusters of research projects:   

The Center of Operations Research and Business Analytics (CORBA) focuses on application-oriented research. In collaboration with researchers in the fields of mathematics and computer science, CORBA members successfully conduct research in corporate finance, management science, and operations management.

The Center for Marketing and Management Studies (CMMS) focuses on how people make decisions and how organizations adapt in a complex and globalized world. The center brings together expertise in behavioral economics, organizational dynamics, strategic management, consumer behavior, and market strategies to generate impactful insights for academia, policy, and practice.
