Practice   

The Wittenberg Center offers practical approaches based on sound economic ethical concepts. Management seminars are offered on behalf of companies and organizations in order to assist them train their executive staff. Young Leaders Seminars are also offered to students. Furthermore we also offer consulting projects and surveys.

The relevance of this approach comes from the basic assumption that economic interest (profit seeking) and the Moral (Ethics) should not be perceived as opposing forces. They should rather be seen as complimentary basis for human action. Fair rules of the game profiting all is certainly needed as well as a commonly accepted basic understanding- global Ethics. This concept, which makes the Wittenberg Center outstanding, seems to be successful in order to bring ethics and moral to acceptance in the modern society.

Management Seminars
