Dr. Schlueter joined CIBU’s Faculty in 2013 and has since developed a keen affinity to our unique International University. He was born, raised and educated in Germany. At the University of Technology in Aachen, Germany he earned his Master Degrees in Engineering and Business Management and his Doctoral Degree in Engineering Physics. For his Business Management Studies, he was fortunate to receive a scholarship from Germany’s Volkswagen Corporation.
After a brief professional engagement in Germany, Dr. Schlueter started his career in the US with an employment at General Atomics Company’s nuclear energy program in San Diego. He began as a research engineer and worked himself into project management and internationally oriented program leadership positions where his education in business became a decisive foundation of his emerging career. After several stimulating assignments, such as chairman of an international technology transfer committee, Dr. Schlueter elected to become a self-employed business consultant.
As consultant and business developer for international firms and for startup operations, Dr. Schlueter keeps up with emerging trends in technological and business management matters. He employs cross-disciplinary assimilation techniques to create new business management concepts. Over the years he honed his skills as knowledgeable technologist and expert in business matters.
Dr. Schlueter teaches undergraduate and graduate level courses in Economics, Business Economics & Accounting, Strategic Planning, Corporate Finance, and New Product Development. He also assumes supervisory responsibilities within the University’s doctoral program. Just like technologists reduce theoretical physics to engineering applications, Dr. Schlueter reduces economic theories to practical engineering-type applications suitable for designing and effectively managing businesses thus maximizing sustainable profitability and growth. In this effort, he considers flexible dynamics and practical simplicity as his hallmark for global business strategies. This innovative business development technique is particularly valuable for his winter-quarter assignment. In his self-composed course of “New Product Development”, Dr. Schlueter offers his international students deep insight into the interwoven complexities of global product and business development strategies and teaches how flexible dynamics and practical simplicity can be the foundation of sustainable growth.
Dr. Schlueter and his wife Tosca raised two children who are established members of local communities. Tosca and Georg are living in San Diego North County’s Rancho Santa Fe and take pleasure in the outdoors. They like gardening, hiking, swimming and cross-country skiing, and they enjoy open ocean sailing.
