Die Lehrtätigkeit von Patrick Kraus umfasst primär Veranstaltungen aus den Gebieten Controlling, Unternehmensplanung und Kostenrechnung. Seit dem Jahr 2010 beschäftigt sich Patrick Kraus auch mit Nachhaltigkeitsthemen, insbesondere im Kontext von KMU. Dies führte u. a. zu Veröffentlichungen im Journal of Global Responsibility (2012) und jüngst in Entrepreneurship & Regional Development (2020). Durch seine Zeit in der Softwarebranche beschäftigte er sich mit Aspekten der Digitalisierung und digitalen Geschäftsmodellen. Ein zukünftiger Forschungsschwerpunkt wird daher auch im Themenbereich der Digitalen Transformation der Controlling-Funktion liegen und wie digitale Geschäftsmodelle zielgerichtet gesteuert werden können. So veröffentlichte er erst kürzlich mit einem Kollegen zusammen einen Konferenzbeitrag, der sich mit Robotic Process Automation befasst. Patrick Kraus arbeitet auch gerne empirisch und verwendet in seinen Forschungsprojekten, mit nationalen und internationalen Kollegen, primär Qualitative Forschungsmethoden.
