Eugen Schmalenbach (20 August 1873 – 20 February 1955) was a German academic and economist.
He was born in Halver, and attended the Leipzig College of Commerce starting in 1898.
Schmalenbach is best known as a professor at the University of Cologne, and as a contributor to German language journals on the subjects of economics, and the emerging fields of Business Management and financial accounting.
He retired from active university life in 1933; one reason for this was to avoid attention, since his wife, Marianne Sachs, was Jewish.
[1] Schmalenbach was the founder of the Schmalenbach Society, which works for closer links between research in business economics and the world of business.
