New & Appointed

Name: Guy Katz

Professor of International Management at the Department of Tourism

I’m from: Israel

Previously, I worked as a Professor at FOM, Germany’s university for working professionals. Before that, I worked in sales and as a Project Manager at various companies, both large and small.

My area of expertise ...

(Graphics: HM Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences )

... and my motivation for teaching there:

Everything is smaller, more global and more colourful these days – and that’s a good thing. Studying international management affects us all, in one way or another, wherever we are. And it should be fun, too!

Why choose HM?

I’ve spent more than half my life in Munich, and if I’m going to study applied sciences, where else would I go? I’m delighted to finally be on board, after spending a decade ‘practising’ elsewhere :)

My highlight of the year

The launch of the Bavarian-Israeli Accelerator, or BIPA. For the past ten years, this accelerator for entrepreneurs from Bavaria and Israel has been a highlight for all of us: businesses, students and lecturers.

My leisure tip

Anyone who deals with people (in other words, everyone) should have read Dale Carnegie’s 1936 book *How to Win Friends and Influence People*.

The ‘New & Appointed’ series introduces newly appointed Professors at the HM and provides insights into their backgrounds, areas of expertise and motivations. Each profile concludes with a personal leisure tip for the HM community.
