Activities
The Deutscher Übungsfirmenring coordinates the German network of practice firms. A practice firm functions like a real company – with real processes, tasks, and challenges, but without financial risk. It covers all business areas: product development, marketing, sales, finance, and human resources. Practice firms exist in numerous industries: office furnishings, clothing, travel and tourism, and more.
