As part of its investment in scientific excellence, the Friede Springer Foundation supports two female doctoral candidates at the Graduate School of the Center for Advanced Studies in Management (CASiM) of HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management. During her visit to the first business school established in Germany, Friede Springer met the two research associates, Fundiswa Ndaba, 29, and Linh Nguyen, 26. While Vietnamese Nguyen researches trust asymmetries within international strategic alliances, focusing particularly on those between Germany and Asia, South African Ndaba examines the change management of companies in her native land since the democracy movement started in 1994. After her conversations with the two scholars, Friede Springer said: "I am amazed by the activities at the CASiM research center at HHL, dealing with the fundamental issues such as trust in business or change management. The investment in scientific excellence at HHL pays off."
