The Secret of German Success

While German universities may not receive significant recognition in global university rankings, it is surprising to observe the strong performance of the German economy. Germany's export levels are roughly equivalent to those of the United States, despite the latter having a population four times larger than Germany.

This suggests that there is an aspect of German university education that is not adequately represented in these rankings. It pertains to coaching and mentoring students in the practical aspects of launching and developing their businesses, business units, and careers.
