For her doctorate, she analyzed performance ratios in horticulture. During her post-doctoral research at Hannover, she researched management skills, strategic management, and management of personnel, including job satisfaction and motivation. Her habilitation on qualitative research in management and economics made an essential contribution to the further development of the methodology discussion in that field. In 2000, Prof. Bitsch accepted an assistant professor position at Michigan State University. In 2006, she was promoted to associate professor with tenure. Her roles involved research, teaching, and extension in the area of human resource management in agriculture. She joined TUM in 2010.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d28b177 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3d28b177\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f0989f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6f0989f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">AWARDS<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33a5d3ec elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"33a5d3ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Fellow Award, International Food and Agribusiness Management Association (2020)<\/li><li>Honorary Doctorate, Swedish University of Agricultural Science (2018)<\/li><li>Best Paper Award, International Food and Agribusiness Management Association, together with Meike Rombach for \u201cSector Blending: Evidence from the German Food Banks\u201d (2017)<\/li><li>Award for Professional Excellence \u2013 Distinguished Extension\/Outreach Program, Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, USA (2008)<\/li><li>Excellence in Outreach Award, Department of Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics, Michigan State University, USA (2006)<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d9cf399 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d9cf399\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-960ba4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"960ba4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">KEY PUBLICATIONS (ALL PUBLICATIONS)<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-051289f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"051289f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><div class=\"professor__single--abstract\">Fratini, L. &amp; Bitsch, V.
