SCIENTIFICALLY WELL-FOUNDED
Prof Dr Klemens Joos is the author and publisher of various publications on topics relevant to the EU. The starting point is his dissertation “Representing the Interests of German Companies vis-à-vis the Institutions of the European Union”, which was published as early as February 1998. With this thesis studying the representation of companies’ interests at the European Union level based on business administration determinants, in 1997, Klemens Joos obtained his doctorate at the Faculty of Business Administration of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich (LMU). Using an organisational science approach, he developed a fundamental overall model for structuring effective and efficient lobbying at EU institutions. This model forms the scientific foundation basis of EUTOP’s business model and is now more valid than ever. In addition, Klemens Joos was visiting lecturer at the Faculty of Business Administration at LMU Munich for the seminar “Convincing Political Stakeholders”. Since the 2021 summer semester, he has been visiting lecturer at the TUM School of Management at the Technical University of Munich, where he was appointed Honorary Professor of Political Stakeholder Management in 2022. The academic work on interest representation in the European Union by Prof Dr Klemens Joos “Convincing Political Stakeholders” has been published in a revised and expanded edition in September 2023 (WILEY-VCH Verlag, 1st edition: 2015).

Prof Dr Thomas F. Hofmann, President of the Technical University of Munich (TUM):
“Based on competencies and international experience obtained over a number of decades in politics, business and academia, Prof Klemens Joos and his co-authors impressively show in this book how successful lobbyists in complex decision-making systems – companies in the multi-level system of the European Union, for instance – have to structure their negotiating strategy and procedural organisation. In doing so, the authors add flexibility to the previous concepts of rigid sociological, political science and economic functional mechanisms of lobbying work and skilfully combine theoretical and methodological bases with specific orientation aids for business practice.”
Prof Dr Gunther Friedl, Former Dean of the TUM School of Management:
“Klemens Joos succeeds once again in treading new ground with this second edition of his book. He tangibly packs the important distinction between content competence and process competence, without which successful interest representation is not possible, into a formula that reduces the complex task of interest representation to its core and the central relationships.”
