🛒 Are special offers really saving us money?

Discounts, supermarket deals and loyalty apps are part of our everyday shopping. But do they really help us save money — or do they influence us to buy more than we intended?

In the ARD documentary “Die Wahrheit über Sonderangebote” (The Truth About Special Offers), Prof. Dr. Kai-Markus Mueller from HFU Business School explores the psychology behind special offers and how they shape our purchasing decisions.

As part of the filming, the research team visited EDEKA Culinara in Schwenningen and explored how our brains respond to special offers in an MRI scanner at Freie Universität Berlin.

The documentary looks at questions that matter to consumers and retailers alike:

- Which supermarkets and discounters offer the best deals?
- Do loyalty programmes such as Lidl Plus and REWE Bonus help us save — or encourage us to spend more?
- How do special offers capture our attention and influence our decisions?

The research combines eye-tracking technology from HFU Business School with MRI scans at Freie Universität Berlin, offering insights into the psychology behind our everyday shopping habits.

We’re looking forward to seeing which findings made it into the final 45-minute documentary!

New faces. New perspectives. A new chapter. 🌍

Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming our new first-year students to our university and officially starting this new chapter together.

What makes this year’s group particularly special is its international diversity. Students from all around the world have chosen to come to us, bringing with them different cultures, experiences and perspectives. Seeing such a diverse group come together in one place is something we truly value – and a wonderful reflection of the international community we strive to build.

For our students, the first day marks the beginning of much more than their academic journey. It is the beginning of new friendships, new experiences, challenges and opportunities. We are very happy to have you with us and look forward to seeing where this journey takes you.

A special thank you to our Student Council for helping us make today’s Welcome event possible.

Welcome to our university – we’re glad you’re here!

Eine Frage, die sich viele Fach- und Führungskräfte stellen:
Was macht eigentlich gute Managemententscheidungen aus?

Gute Managemententscheidungen entstehen selten isoliert. Sie berücksichtigen unterschiedliche Perspektiven und bringen die Interessen verschiedener Unternehmensbereiche zusammen.

Ob Finance, Marketing, Strategy oder Digital Transformation – erst das Zusammenspiel dieser Disziplinen ermöglicht fundierte Entscheidungen und nachhaltigen Unternehmenserfolg.

Genau dieses ganzheitliche Verständnis vermittelt unser Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) „Management Essentials for Professionals“. In einem Semester erwerben Sie fundierte Kenntnisse der betriebswirtschaftlichen Kernfunktionen und erweitern Ihren Blick auf unternehmerische Zusammenhänge – praxisnah, berufsbegleitend und auf akademischem Niveau.

Das Besondere: Das CAS entspricht vollständig dem ersten Semester unseres Executive MBA der HFU Business School. Es kann eigenständig absolviert oder als Einstieg in den Executive MBA genutzt werden.

Welche betriebswirtschaftliche Perspektive hilft Ihnen in Ihrem Berufsalltag am häufigsten weiter – Finance, Marketing, Strategy oder Digital Transformation?

💻 Sie möchten mehr erfahren? Dann seien Sie dabei, wenn Prof. Dr. Michael Hepp am 15. September um 18:00 Uhr im Webinar „The Autonomous Enterprise: Why Agentic AI Is Reshaping Business Models“ erläutert, warum Agentic AI zu den spannendsten Entwicklungen für Unternehmen zählt.

Im Anschluss stellen wir Ihnen unseren Executive MBA sowie das CAS „Management Essentials for Professionals“ vor und beantworten Ihre Fragen zu Studieninhalten, Ablauf und Bewerbung.

Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Teilnahme!

Did you know?

Before she taught marketing, Prof. Dr. Lucina Odoi spent more than 15 years doing it, at Beiersdorf and Mars.

She joined HFU Business School as Professor of International Marketing after senior roles in brand management, product and marketing management, sales, and the leadership of international teams.

In her teaching, that industry experience meets current
research. Her work sits at the intersection of marketing and sustainability, and students in her Marketing & Sustainability course run a sustainability challenge of their own. She is also an active member of the global netnography community, applying netnographic methods to study how consumers behave online.

Because marketing keeps changing, and the classroom should change with it.

Our Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) “Management Essentials for Professionals” provides a comprehensive introduction to the core functions of modern business management within a single semester—from Finance and Marketing to Strategy and Digital Transformation. The program is practice-oriented, designed for working professionals, and delivered at an academic level.

What makes it unique: The CAS is fully equivalent to the first semester of the HFU Business School's Executive MBA
(hs-furtwangen.de/executive-mba). It therefore serves both as a standalone academic qualification and as the ideal entry point for professionals who may later choose to continue with the Executive MBA.

In your view, how important is a holistic understanding of business for professional success?
