Institute for Management, Economics and Healthcare (IMÖVG)

Founded in March 2014, the Institute for Management, Economics and Healthcare (IMÖVG) bundles the research expertise of the Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society in the fields of health economics, health management and healthcare research.

Against the backdrop of increasingly scarce resources and an ageing society, the Institute investigates ways of improving the effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare. This requires the combination of competencies from the fields of business administration, economics, medicine and law, which the Institute guarantees through its interdisciplinary orientation.

Here, the Institute can build on the interdisciplinary approach that has been practiced in the field of health economics since 2000 at the Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society in the context of education and transfer. As part of its research activities, the Institute will enable Master's students in the field of health economics and care management to work on research projects at the Institute and thus increase their research skills.
