Nuremberg and Erlangen, Germany – On February 7, 2017, the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg appointed Dr. Stefan Asenkerschbaumer, deputy chairman of the board of management of Robert Bosch GmbH, honorary professor in business administration, specializing in industrial management. Professor Dr. Kai-Ingo Voigt, who holds the chair of industrial management at Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, said: “In appointing Dr. Stefan Asenkerschbaumer honorary professor, we are paying tribute to his work at the interface of theory and practice. His outstanding lectures and seminars are extremely popular with students, especially those reading industrial engineering.”

Professor Asenkerschbaumer was awarded a degree in business education at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in 1982, and a further degree in business administration in 1984. These degrees were followed by a PhD on the subject of innovation management in companies. To this day, he has remained in close contact with his alma mater. For Professor Asenkerschbaumer, the interaction of theory and practice brings valuable benefits for both sides. For a number of years, he has lectured and given seminars at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. In particular, he has regularly given an “industry seminar” for master’s students in the school of industrial management.

On the Bosch board of management, Professor Asenkerschbaumer is responsible for finance and financial statements, planning and controlling, internal accounting and organization, as well as in-house consulting. In addition, he is responsible for two corporate sectors: IT and purchasing and logistics.
