The Heinz Nixdorf Chair of IT-based Logistics at HHL - Leipzig Graduate School of Management was established by the Heinz Nixdorf Foundation in 2007 in order to foster applied research and teaching in the field of efficient logistics systems based on modern information technologies.
Modern logistics and supply chain management focuses on the design of optimal material and information flows within national and international value creation chains satisfying the demands of internal and external customers.
In close cooperation with companies and as part of an interdisciplinary network of research partners, we investigate and develop strategies, concepts and methods of IT-based logistics
that substantially contribute to the successful development of the regional and supra-regional logistics location.
Our basic philosophy is to realize an intensive theory-practice transfer both in research and teaching. The courses and case studies apply the latest practical findings reflecting the current status of economic theories and models in the field of IT-based logistics.
