Short Profile
Prof. Dr. Philipp Schreck (born in 1978) studied Business Administration at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) in Munich (Diploma, 2005) and earned his Ph.D. with an empirical study on the Business Case for Corporate Social Responsibility in 2008 (LMU, Munich). In 2014, he earned the post-doc degree Habilitation with different works on Accounting and Ethics. These works were mostly experimental studies on the unintended effects of incentive systems in organizations (LMU, Munich). Since 2015, Philipp has held the Friede-Springer Endowed Chair of Business Ethics and Management Accounting (bema) at the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg. He is also a member of the management board of the Wittenberg Center for Global Ethics (WCGE).
The research projects conducted at bema follow the principle of evidence-based business ethics. The goal of this research is to develop normative propositions based on solid empirical research. In line with this goal, most of the research projects at bema employ empirical methods, mostly by means of behavioral experiments. Current research projects deal with topics such as preconditions of human cooperation, ethical decision-making & behavior, compliance &integrity, and ethical aspects of digitalization.
Philipp’s articles have appeared in journals such as Business Ethics Quarterly, Business & Society, Critical Perspectives on Accounting, European Accounting Review, Journal of Business Ethics, and Review of Managerial Science. In 2018, he joined the editorial board of the Journal of Business Economics. He has also had visiting appointments at the Wharton School, University of St. Gallen, University of Sydney, and HEC Paris.
