Master's Thesis
The Master's thesis serves as proof of the student's ability to work on academic topics independently and in a way that is justifiable in terms of content and methodology. The topic of the Master's thesis must be chosen in such a way that it is possible and reasonable for the student to complete it within six months.
The topic must be taken from one of the compulsory modules. If a different topic is to be chosen or if there are uncertainties regarding the assignment of the chosen topic, the decision on admissibility lies with the Director of Studies. (see also Master's curriculum 2017)
As soon as you have completed the Master-Seminar (MA-SE), you can submit the topic of your Master's thesis. The topic must be registered at the latest when you want to submit the finished thesis.
Please find some of the most important points concerning the writing and submission of your Master's thesis below. There are:

Master - Academic paper - during writing your thesis
General formal requirements of the university of vienna.
- Collaboration with your supervisor
- Format of the Master's Thesis
Jointly written theses
- Master Conversatorium
All formal requirements: Formvorschriften für wissenschaftliche Arbeiten
Please also note that, due to pseudonymisation of data during plagiarism control, no personal data (matriculation number, name, CV, etc.) may be included in your thesis from page 7 onwards. Please DO NOT include a CURRICULUM VITAE in neither the electronic nor the print version.
Further Information for Publication in your Thesis: Website "Büros Studienpräses" .
Collaboration with the supervisor
There should be at least one meeting between the supervisor and the student during the work on the Master's thesis, at least before the first version of the thesis is completed. Supervision does not take place during the master conservatory.
Students may expect to receive written or oral feedback on questions and preliminary written statements within 4 weeks during the lecture period. Supervisors may also expect to receive written feedback on questions and comments within 4 weeks during the lecture period.
The supervisor may, in agreement with the SPL, withdraw the confirmation of supervision if, over a longer period of time and in spite of repeated reminders, there is obviously no progress in the completion of the Master's thesis.
The format of the Master’s thesis
The Master's thesis should - taking into account the respective discipline - be structured along the lines of articles in leading scientific journals. Please discuss the specific contents and structure with your supervisor. The general formal requirements of the University of Vienna are binding. According to scientific models, the thesis should be of a scope appropriate to the topic.
The current formal requirements can be found in the corresponding regulations of the University of Vienna .
There are specific requirements for the layout and the data listed for the title page of the academic paper. To ensure that your title page is correct in terms of form and content, the system in u:space will automatically create it from your data. Please do not use a title page that you have created yourself in advance, as this will not be accepted during the formal check.
If two students would like to co-author their thesis, they should keep the following in mind:
- Both students must apply individually for approval of the topic with the director of studies (SPL) and submit the required form at the SSC.
- Both authors must submit three bound version of the completed thesis to the SSC.
- The students must adhere to the title page template for co-authored theses when creating the title page of their thesis.
- The table of contents must convey which author wrote which chapter. This is the only way to ensure individual and separate assessment of each student (UG § 81 (3)).
- The electronic version of the thesis must be uploaded to u:space by each author.
After successfully uploading the thesis, students will each receive an upload confirmation (3-page PDF). The students must sign and submit this confirmation as well as the bound printed versions of the thesis to the SSC.
The Master Conversatorium
The conversatorium is an obligatory course for all Master students in (International) Business Administration, Economics as well as Banking and Finance, in which academic writing is practiced and the current status or progress of the Master thesis is presented. The topics and contents that (should) be included in the own master's thesis are presented during the course and commented and discussed by other students. Special emphasis is to be placed on the introduction and implementation of acquired skills from studies in general and especially from the subject in which the conversation course is attended. If the master's thesis is not written in the subject of the conversatorium attended, those aspects of the thesis that relate to the subject of the course attended may play a special role in the assessment.
The conversatorium is a separate course and the assessment of the work done there must be clearly separated from an assessment of the master's thesis. The assessment criteria for the course will be announced on u:find before the start of the registration phase and should not relate to the actual master's thesis.
Students may only remain registered for the conversatorium if they present a confirmation of supervision in the first unit or if they have already registered the topic and have been approved by SPL. Then they may not be deregistered after the official deregistration deadline. The conversatorium should be assigned to the curriculum, exceptions must be approved by the program director. There are no further specifications as to which of the offered conversatorium courses can or must be attended, but it may only be taken once.

List of Master theses topics at the Strategy Subject Area
Master theses at the Strategic Management subject area are supervised by Professor Reitzig or Professor Keck, depending on the topic.
However, most Master thesis candidates closely co-ordinate with other members of the subject area as well.
Find the updated list of topics here. You can apply for topics listed under 'Available Topics', although topics marked as "allocated" are currently under consideration for a specific supervision applicant. (They may become freely available again, if applicants decide on different topics.) Those listed separately as previous topics/completed theses are no longer available.
As it often happens that many students apply for the same topic, you may, however, be offered a topic different from the one you applied for, if necessary.
Please note: We generally update the list once a semester.
More topics to come!
Available Topics
| Topic | Track | Contact partners at Dept. | Brief Description | Supplementary Information & Pre-requisites |
| Costly information inefficiencies due to dissatisfied employees | Science | Markus Reitzig & Robert Janjic, M.Sc. | It’s a well-known fact that when people are unhappy in their workplace, productivity can suffer. Apart from this obvious decrease in work-related effort, however, dissatisfied employees can also create other costs for the organization, such as overlooked business opportunities due to a lack of communication between members. Compared to effort-related reductions in productivity, these information-based inefficiencies have received less scholarly attention so far. This master thesis is therefore devoted to examining the underlying psychological mechanisms of such phenomena and providing further insights through the use of computational simulations. All relevant literature will be synthesized and a change diffusion model, written in Python, will be used as a basis for further analysis. | *Successful completion of at least one class on experimental methods and classes on statistical analysis at Master level at the Strategy Subject Area (or passing of equivalent classes elsewhere leading to familiarity with the design of experimental studies and handling of statistical analysis pertaining to experimental results using software - e.g., Stata, SPSS, R etc.). * Excellency in all required prerequisites. * Willingness and ability to complete the Master thesis in due course |
| Effects of sticky reputation in organizational learning | Science | Markus Reitzig & Robert Janjic, M.Sc. | Having a reputation of being an expert in a certain field can lead to individuals’ opinions being valued and considered even in areas that lie outside of their expertise or after their knowledge becomes outdated. Examining how such “sticky” reputations can affect organizational learning processes is the aim of this master thesis. Building on and extending March’s (1991) model on exploration and exploitation, the thesis will attempt to answer the question of how organizational learning can suffer when alleged experts can preserve their reputation even after the basis for it, namely, their superior knowledge, becomes obsolete. All relevant literature will be synthesized and the extension to March’s (1991) original model will be written in Python. | *Successful completion of at least one class on experimental methods and classes on statistical analysis at Master level at the Strategy Subject Area (or passing of equivalent classes elsewhere leading to familiarity with the design of experimental studies and handling of statistical analysis pertaining to experimental results using software - e.g., Stata, SPSS, R etc.). * Excellency in all required prerequisites. * Willingness and ability to complete the Master thesis in due course |
| NEW. Long-shot bias in betting odds | Science | Prof. Steffen Keck | Betting markets provide a natural laboratory for studying decision making under uncertainty. A commonly observed anomaly in this context is that bets that offer the largest potential payoffs (the “longest” odds) tend to have the lowest expected values. This is referred to as the long-shot bias. The goal of the thesis will be to compile and analyze a large dataset of betting odds and analyze the strength of the longshot bias across different contexts. Based on these results the thesis will then discuss the validity of different explanations for the long-shot bias that have been suggested in the literature. | *The thesis requires very good knowledge of statistics and probability as well as high proficiency in a statistic software such as Stata, R or Pandas. * Willingness and ability to complete the Master thesis in due course (at most 9 month). This involves regular work progress and meeting of milestones throughout the work on the thesis. Please note that this will be strictly enforced. |
| NEW. Voting vs. averaging in crowd judgments | Science | Prof. Steffen Keck | Crowd wisdom relies on the aggregation of independent judgments. The accuracy of a group’s aggregate prediction generally rises with the number, ability, and diversity of its members. However, prior work based on simulation studies has repeatedly discussed differences in the importance of these dimension for continuous estimation tasks (averaging) compared to discrete choice tasks (voting). The goal of this thesis is to replicate some of the prior simulation results and test their robustness when the details of the aggregation schemes are changed (e.g. mean vs. median-based aggregation in continuous estimation tasks). | * The thesis requires very good knowledge of statistics and probability as well as high proficiency in a simulation software such as R or Python. * Willingness and ability to complete the Master thesis in due course (at most 9 month). This involves regular work progress and meeting of milestones throughout the work on the thesis. Please note that this will be strictly enforced. |
| NEW. Making probability judgments more extreme | Science | Prof. Steffen Keck | When aggregating the probability estimates of many individuals to form a consensus probability estimate of an uncertain future event, it is common to combine them using a simple weighted average. Prior research further suggests, that such aggregated probabilities correspond more closely to the real world if they are transformed by pushing them closer to 0 or 1. This is somewhat puzzling given the well-known results on individual overconfidence. The goal of the thesis is to design an experimental probabilistic forecasting task and explore when and why making aggregated probability judgments is beneficial. | * The thesis requires very good knowledge of experimental design, statistics and probability as well as proficiency in a statistics software such as R, Stata or Python. * Willingness and ability to complete the Master thesis in due course (at most 9 month). This involves regular work progress and meeting of milestones throughout the work on the thesis. Please note that this will be strictly enforced. |

Submission and review of the doctoral thesis
Formal requirements
- Doctoral candidates have to submit the final doctoral thesis to the StudiesServiceCenter for the doctoral programme in Social Sciences, both in printed and electronic form (via u:space ).
- The thesis has to fulfil certain formal requirements. Please note the relevant regulations (in German) and the information regarding copyright and the use of images and data protection in the social sciences .
- The title page needs to be generated on u:space . Before submission, doctoral candidates need to open u:space and verify the data that will be printed on the title page. The data is automatically loaded from the University’s database and includes the candidate’s name, their academic degrees and the names of the supervisors of the doctoral thesis. After generating the title page, doctoral candidates need to download and include it in the doctoral thesis. Then the complete document needs to be uploaded to u:space in PDF format.
- At the University of Vienna, a doctoral thesis is reviewed by two experts from the relevant discipline who are not supervisors of the doctoral thesis. Together with their supervisors, doctoral candidates can propose three experts to act as reviewers by submitting the forms SL/D3 and SL/D4 (abstract) to the StudiesServiceCentre Social Sciences/Doctoral Studies ( doktorat.sozialwissenschaften @ univie.ac.at ). The supervisor/s ask the suggested persons whether they are willing and able to assess the doctoral thesis within the given time frame. Supervisor/s should also serve as contact persons during the review process, if questions arise. The Studienpräses, the officer responsible for the implementation of the study law, selects and appoints two reviewers in consultation with the Social Sciences Directorate of Doctoral Studies.
- One reviewer should be an external person (external = not employed with the University of Vienna). The second reviewer may be a member of the University of Vienna. Both internal as well as external reviewers have to be professors, or have an equivalent qualification, or be habilitated (see section 15, para. 2 of the Statutes of the University of Vienna). The candidate and the external reviewer may not have regular research-related contact (e. g. joint publications or research projects). A supervisor can act as a reviewer only in special cases. In this case, the second reviewer has to be from outside the University of Vienna. The doctoral candidate has to submit a curriculum vitae and a list of publications of external reviewers along with the forms SL/D3 and SL/D4.
Duration and outcome
- Both reviewers receive an electronic copy of the academic thesis at the same time. A hardcover copy can be supplied on request but needs to be returned after the assessment.
- In accordance with the Statutes of the University of Vienna, reviewers have a maximum of four months to assess the thesis and write their review. In the interest of the candidate, the reviewers are kindly requested to complete the assessment as quickly as possible.
- Reviews have to be submitted to the StudiesServiceCentre Social Sciences/Doctoral Studies ( doktorat.sozialwissenschaften @ univie.ac.at ). As soon as both reviews have been submitted, the StudiesServiceCentre forwards them to the candidate, both reviewers and the supervisor/s.
- Only if both reviewers submit a positive review of the doctoral thesis, the doctoral candidate may register for the public defence . The reviewers of a doctoral thesis usually serve as members of the examination committee during the public defence.
- If a reviewer assesses the thesis negatively , the thesis is given to an additional reviewer. If the third reviewer assesses the thesis negatively as well, the overall result is negative. In this case, doctoral candidates have to revise their doctoral thesis before they can resubmit it.
For the submission of your doctoral thesis you need
- Three copies of the doctoral thesis, hardbound Format: DIN A4 (210 x 297 mm) portrait format, printed on both sides. The page margins should be set in a way that allows binding. Please include a German and an English summary (abstract, 1–2 pages) in the annex.
- The form “Doctoral thesis submission“ ( SL/D6 )
- The form “Assignment of a thesis to reviewers” ( SL/D3 )
- The form “Assignment of a thesis to reviewers – Abstract” ( SL/D4 ) Please note: We recommend handing in the forms “Assignment of a thesis to reviewers” and “Assignment of a thesis to reviewers – Abstract” already four weeks before you upload the doctoral thesis. If you suggest one or more external reviewer, you have to add a CV and a list of publications for each one of them.
- Signed confirmation that you have successfully uploaded your doctoral thesis to uspace (“Erfassungsbestätigung”)
Please note: When you submit your doctoral thesis, you must have completed all necessary ECTS credits.

The research proposal.
Find more details on topics, application and supervision here.
For a fair and transparent allocation of thesis supervision spots Prof. Fabel has the following rules for deciding which theses to supervise: There are exactly 10 thesis supervision spots available at any point in time. These spots will be allocated on 1 fixed date (deadline for handing in the proposals: 04.11.2024 in the winter semester; allocation follows a couple of days after the deadlines).
It is strongly recommended that students discuss their topic project idea in an office hour before entering into the final registration procedure! You are asked, to register not last minute for the office hour! Please also indicate your taken courses and your grades.
To apply for a free spot students have to submit a 3-5 page thesis proposal. The number of available supervision slots determines the maximum number of students that can be accepted for supervision from within the submitted thesis proposals.
The thesis proposal needs to elaborate on the following points
- the precise research question addressed by the thesis
- methods
- applicants prior knowledge regarding the research question
- a preliminary list of references
- (if applicable) information about possible access to data, business contacts, etc…
- risks that could lead to the failure of the project, and how those will be dealt with
- list of successfully completed courses in the Major/Minor
- what draws you to writing your thesis in our area of research
Proposals (.pdf or doc files) should be submitted by the dates indicated above :
Apply for thesis supervision here
Accepted proposals will be registered at the SSC with an acceptance of supervision form (Anmeldung der Masterarbeit - Thema und Betreuung).
In preparation for a successful proposal submission and thesis writing process we highly encourage candidates to take at least one of the following two courses before applying for thesis supervision:
- KU Data Analysis on Organization and Personnel (MA) (if thesis necessitates work with large data sets)
- KU Empirical Methods in Decision Sciences (MA) (if thesis is to include experimental methodology)
Please be aware that Prof. Fabel is already supervising a considerable number of theses and will thus only be able to take on very few new supervisions. Therefore we recommend sending your proposal to all possible supervisors interested in the research area of your proposal. For a list please visit the SSC homepage .
For information on how to apply for supervision with Prof. Rauner please visit the Public and Non-profit Management page here . Please be aware that for supervision of topics on Public & Non-profit Management students are expected to attend the corresponding lectures!
Due to his imminent retirement Prof. Vetschera is not taking on new supervisions.
Please note
That prof. vetschera will retire on sept. 30, 2024, and supervision of master theses cannot be guaranteed beyond that date., students starting their thesis work during the summer term 2024 should therefore plan to complete their work by end of 2024 at the latest..
GENERAL REQUIREMENT Before you apply for a topic, you have to complete at least one of the following courses:
- Theory of the international Firm
- Global Strategy
- International Market Entry
Rules for Scientific Writing Since you are in the process of submitting the final version of the master thesis, please remember to submit a final version that consistently applies the formal rules of writing a research paper. Very often we receive a final study that has not consistently applied the rules of writing a research paper. Here are two references for preparing the thesis:
- Karmasin, M., R. Rainer, Die Gestaltung wissenschaftlicher Arbeiten, , 2015, UTB Facultas
- Skern, T., Writing Scientific English, 2015, UTB Facultas
FURTHER INFORMATION on Prof. Windsperger's personal homepage .
We offer 1-2 supervision spots each semester for the students who want to write a thesis within the framework of the Jean Monnet Project “ International Business – Strategies for Integrated Europe ”. To apply please state in your proposal that you want to write your thesis within the Jean Monnet Project and send it (.pdf or .doc file) to [email protected]. If your proposal is accepted, the main supervisor will be assigned depending on the capacity and specific focus within the Organization, Personnel and International Management group. Dr. Oksana Galak would act as a co-supervisor on the theses. Successful completion of the course “ European Dimension of International Business ” prior to application is strongly recommended.
