General Information

Overview

 

The ZHW School of Management (SoM) was founded in 1968 as the Zurich School of Economics and Business Administration. Today it is part of Zurich University of Applied Sciences and is based in Winterthur, Switzerland. SoM is a community of people whose Institutes and Centers are greater than the whole. Yet the success of each unit depends largely on the spirit of cooperation both within the entire School and with third parties.

 

Teaching and research at the School of Manage­ment are focused primarily on:
