In his teaching, Christian Steiner aims to get students excited about economic concepts and their relevance in negotiations by explaining them in a way that is easy to understand and has a high degree of practical relevance. He believes that application-oriented teaching can only be authentic if the teacher has a high level of relevant and practical experience and keeps their knowledge up to date by being involved in business practice.
