In the "Lifework" category, all the researchers' publications are counted. Since only some journals have the same significance, the articles are weighted according to the journal's reputation.

TUM is once again at the top of the list of German universities. Overall, it is in third place after the University of St. Gallen and the University of Zurich.

According to WirtschaftsWoche, several reasons exist for the success of the TUM School of Management and its focus on the interface between management and technology. Business Administration research is consistently interdisciplinary. This is demonstrated not least by the TUM Campus Heilbronn, where management and computer science professorships work together on digital transformation.
