Dr. Wendelin Küpers
Wendelin Kupers
At present he is Professor of Leadership and Organization Studies at Karlshochschule International University in Karlsruhe, Germany where he teaches in the areas of management/leadership, organization studies and research methodology. Previously, I have worked for several years in the business world and have been affiliated with different universities in Europe. For some time I worked also as an Associate Professor at the School of Management, Massey University, Auckland in New Zealand.
Combining a phenomenological and cross-disciplinary orientation, my research moves around embodied, emotional and creative, respectively aesthetic dimensions in organizational life-worlds. In his current research and teaching he is focusing on more responsible, and wiser forms of organization and leadership towards more integral and hence sustainable ‘inter-practices’. He has designed a module on integral organization and leadership at the German Distance University (FernUniversität Hagen).
Besides editing and publishing books and journal articles, and presenting at and convening streams at international conferences, I am engaged in various editorial and review activities.

Integral Studies of Organisation and Leadership
In view of various epistemological and methodological shortcomings in the conventional leadership and organisation discourse, integral studies considers that leadership and organisational research demands a comprehensive and multi-level approach suited for investigating the complex, inter-related processes involved.
Consequently, my research on integral understanding of leadership and organisation explores the interdependent dimensions and subjective, inter-subjective and objective dimensions involved. Furthermore, this research identifies developmental stages and levels, classified in a dynamic cycle, which allows a more processual investigation and interpretation of organisation and leadership. This integral research involves also profound discussions on theoretical, empirical and methodological implications. Simultaneously, this research seeks to establish an effective conceptual and practical base for linking theory and practice of organisation and management.
Moreover, this integral approach allows developing very timely and much needed conceptualisations, like that of an integral responsibility and sustainability practices in organisation and management/leadership and its education.
