As we welcome the start of 2026, we extend our warmest wishes to the SKK GSB community.
The new year offers an opportunity to reconnect, reflect, and look ahead together.
In this first newsletter of the year, we’re pleased to share a few highlights that reflect our ongoing journey — from alumni gatherings and faculty achievements to student stories and upcoming events.

Prof. Frank Huettner of SKK GSB has co-authored a paper published in the European Journal of Operational Research, examining how to calculate fair payouts in situations where decisions create wide-ranging side effects.

Using examples such as corporate mergers that reshape entire markets, the research highlights how actions often affect more stakeholders than initially assumed. The study proposes a method to preserve fairness even when such externalities are unavoidable.
