Kuno Rechkemmer

Short Bio
Kuno Rechkemmer is one of the founders and the managing director of CGIFOS, a research and development institute based in Stuttgart, Germany.
He studied industrial engineering and completed his doctorate in business economics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. His academic work includes research at the ifo Institute in Munich, the European Institute for Advanced Management in Brussels, and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. During this period, he already focused on qualitative indicators, such as expectations and assessments, and their role in explaining and anticipating economic developments.
He then moved to Daimler-Benz, where he advanced to executive level. His responsibilities included the development and international implementation of an Executive Information System for the group’s board. In this context, limitations of existing management approaches with regard to qualitative and sentiment-based information became apparent.
To further develop the conceptual foundations in this area, he subsequently returned to academia. He held a professorship in business administration at the European University Viadrina, was affiliated with the Stuttgart Institute of Management and Technology, and conducted research in collaboration with the University of St. Gallen and the MIT Sloan School of Management. On this basis, he co-founded CGIFOS in 2006. The initial focus was on the use of qualitative and sentiment-based information as early indicators in management, from which the concept of Inner Quality emerged. The topic was brought into both research and practice at an early stage, including a conference on Inner Quality held in 2010 at the University of Hohenheim in collaboration with Hohenheim Business School.
Kuno Rechkemmer is an alumnus of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). He is the author of several books and articles (in German) on Inner Quality, organizational management, and corporate governance.
