theory

Suchanek's main research areas are: economic and corporate ethics, sustainability , trust and credibility management. His approach can be characterized as "economic ethics" or interaction ethics. At the center of this approach are questions about the conditions that enable social cooperation, what members of society can legitimately expect from one another and why it is sensible for the individual to meet the legitimate expectations of others. The economically reformulated golden rule emerges as an imperative : Invest in the conditions of social cooperation for mutual benefit.

As a member of the core team of the HHL - Leipzig Graduate School of Management , he developed a “Leipzig management model” together with Manfred Kirchgeorg , Timo Meynhardt , Andreas Pinkwart and Henning Zülch .
