In this webinar, Dr Andrés Arenas, Dr Vasilios Stouraitis, Dr Konstantinos Tsanis, and Dr Jessica Bayon Perez will present their latest research on how a Swiss watch company was able to crowdfund a successful initiative that involved the production of watches that are built entirely from space and rocket debris.

This webinar will link theory with practice, and provide a guide for future managers in how to successfully manage change through strong and innovative leadership in the areas of sustainability.

About the research
The research aims to provide a case study for successful change leaders depicting real life examples of management, leadership and change during the Covid-19 period. The case used will be the exceptional case of watch company Werenbach, which has shifted from using traditional approaches to reach its customer base – basically Switzerland and Germany – into transforming its strategy using internet based marketing techniques and aggressive media coverage to reach the Americas and different countries in Europe during the pandemic. 

Among these methods, is the successful management of a crowdfunding during the pandemic period and raising almost half a million euros –  a crowdfunding record – reaching its original pledge (€55,612) in just two minutes. Werenbach has enabled people to enjoy an original product even in extremely adverse circumstances.
