Auf die Frage, wie etablierte Unternehmen mit disruptiven Herausforderungen umgehen sollen, gibt es nur wenige Antworten. Dieser Lücke nimmt sich das Buch an. Aus zahlreichen Untersuchungen, Workshops und Diskussionsrunden wurde ein Managementansatz entwickelt, der eine erfolgreiche Selbstdisruption in etablierten Unternehmen unterstützt. Ein solcher Ansatz muss sich vom Vorgehen vieler disruptiver Angreifer unterscheiden. Etablierte Unternehmen mit großen und teilweise trägen Organisationen wehren sich gegen eine von oben verordnete «Start-up Mentalität». Auch dauert es in etablierten Unternehmen viel zu lange, Innovationen voranzutreiben und später auf das Kerngeschäft zu übertragen. Im Fokus steht deshalb die erfolgreiche Transformation im Kerngeschäft. Es muss etablierten Anbietern gelingen, eine permanente Selbstdisruption voranzutreiben. Erfolgreiche Transformation von Geschäftsmodellen in disruptiven Zeiten unterstützt diese Leitidee. Das erste Kapitel begründet die Bedeutung disruptiver Veränderungen, definiert den Begriff einer Disruption und erklärt die damit verbundenen Managementherausforderungen. Das zweite Kapitel schärft das Verständnis für disruptive Veränderungen in Unternehmen und stellt erste Tools für das Management bereit. Es werden zentrale Treiber disruptiver Prozesse identifiziert, vor den häufigsten Managementfehlern gewarnt, erklärt, wie Manager den Zeitpunkt für ein proaktives Handeln nicht verpassen, sowie das Vorgehen der Angreifer, um etablierte Unternehmen aus dem Markt zu drängen, beschrieben. Kapitel 3 begründet den spezifischen "High 5 Managementansatz für eine erfolgreiche Geschäftsmodelltransformation". Zunächst werden zentrale Erkenntnisse aus der Forschung über Geschäftsmodelle zusammengefasst. Die Funktion von Geschäftsmodellen, deren Charakteristika, sowie die Ableitung von 5 Handlungsfeldern, stehen im Mittelpunkt der Betrachtung. Aufbauend auf diesen Grundlagen, wird ein anwendungsorientierter Managementansatz entwickelt. Für jedes der 5 zentralen Handlungsfelder werden konkrete Aufgaben vorgestellt, welche im Falle einer Geschäftsmodelltransformation zu beachten sind. Das vierte Kapitel illustriert die Anwendung des High 5 Ansatzes. Anhand von zahlreichen Fallbeispielen werden erfolgreiche und erfolglose Transformationsprozesse in Unternehmen beschrieben. Die Fälle entstammen unterschiedlichen Branchen und setzen Schwerpunkte im Hinblick auf unsere Handlungsfelder. Das fünfte Kapitel geht auf die "Führung von Transformationsprozessen" ein. Leitgedanken zur Führung einer erfolgreichen Selbstdisruption sollen helfen, das Risiko des Scheiterns zu reduzieren. Die Ausführungen sprechen typische Stolpersteine an und unterbreiten erste Vorschläge, um die mentalen Voraussetzungen in der Belegschaft für einen erfolgreichen Wandel zu schaffen. Das Buch wendet sich an das Management unterschiedlicher Branchen. Manager in etablierten Unternehmen - zu denen ca. 95% aller Betriebe zählen - erhalten mit diesem Buch einen theoretisch fundierten und praxistauglichen Leitfaden. Über 20 Fallbeispiele veranschaulichen unseren High 5 Ansatz einer erfolgreichen Geschäftsmodelltransformation.

Transformational change is complex. It needs to be approached in the right way to succeed and potentially save millions. A Transformation Lens is an accessible guide on how to approach and navigate the transformation journey successfully.

¿Die Digitalisierung hat längst alle Bereiche unseres Lebens erfasst. Nach einer ersten Phase der Digitalisierungs-Euphorie und der Digitalisierungs-Skepsis rücken im Zusammenhang mit der Digitalisierung mehr und mehr Fragen ins Zentrum, die sich differenzierter mit den gesellschaftlichen und sozialen Auswirkungen, veränderten Lebensweisen, weiterführenden Möglichkeiten und auch mit neuen Gefahren befassen. Dabei spielen auch jüngste Entwicklungen wie die Corona-Pandemie, der Krieg in der Ukraine und der Klimawandel eine Rolle. Viele ökologische Auswirkungen der Digitalisierung sind noch wenig absehbar - aber klar ist, dass die Digitalisierung wie alle gesellschaftlichen Umwälzungen ambivalent ist: Es gibt Gewinner und Verlierer. Besonders mittel- und langfristig stellen sich viele ethische Fragen: Ist die Digitalisierung steuer- und beeinflussbar oder erfolgt sie eigendynamisch und ungesteuert? Braucht es Leitplanken oder ist alles möglich und erlaubt? Führt die Digitalisierung zu einer sozialen Umschichtung? Werden einzelne Gruppen von der Gesellschaft ausgeschlossen (digitale Exklusion)? Und wie steht es mit "Digitalisierungs-Verweigerern"? Das Buch geht diesen Fragen nach, um den Digitalisierungs-Diskurs weiter zu entwickeln und nachhaltig zu machen.

Skilled and efficient manpower is the most precious and precious wealth of any country. Despite having abundant natural resources, many societies are unable to use these divine gifts due to the lack of competent and worthy human resources, and they spend their days in hardship. Despite the lack of natural resources, other nations have reached comfort and prosperity as a result of having experienced and suitable human resources, and they are taking long and steady steps on the path of progress and progress. Most of the experts attribute the changes and transformations of the business world to the increasing access to technology, intense competition in the development of technology, the globalization of markets and business competition, the rapid growth of access to technology, changes in the number of salaries and job skills, environmental responsibility. They know the environment, limited resources, and most importantly, the increase in customer expectations. Therefore, in such an environment, it is not possible to guide and control organizations in a traditional way with past methods.

Innovation is generally viewed as something inherently good, a source of progress and prosperity in our society. But innovation can also have negative, unintended, and wasteful effects, if policies are misdirected and organizations pursue innovation to look good and convey a message, rather than to actually achieve improvements of technologies, services, and products. This book makes the case that innovation has become a buzzword, a political cure-all, and increasingly an empty phrase, and that this has become detrimental to innovation itself.Governmental (and supra-governmental) innovation policy is often unrealistically phrased and shaped, and corporate innovation projects are not seldom meaningless acts of window-dressing. The book describes the problems this presents for society, organizations, and individuals, and seeks explanations for why it has come to be this way. Giving way to a more realistic view of what innovation really is, and how it can beaccomplished, the book develops a multifaceted sociological and historical argument where several complementary reasons for the prevalence of ¿empty innovation¿ are proposed. The book will be of great interest to scholars and students of innovation, entrepreneurship, sustainability, and all those with an interest in the failures of current innovation strategies.This is an open access book.

Humanistic Buddhism is a contemporary movement within Buddhism that emphasizes the potential for individuals to generate positive change in their own lives and society through practicing Buddhist teachings and values. Master Hsing Yun said: "The so-called Humanistic Buddhism is the Mahayana Buddhism of the bodhisattva way... Humanistic Buddhism attaches great importance to the purification of moral thoughts in life and the sublimation of spirituality." Master Hsing Yun's thoughts on Humanistic Buddhism can be approximately summarized into the following points. Firstly, the Sakyamuni Buddha is the enlightened being in the human world, and Buddhism is in the human world; Moreover, Buddhism attaches great significance to human life. Secondly, the conception of Humanistic Buddhism comes from the Sakyamuni Buddha. Thirdly, Humanistic Buddhism is practical Buddhism. This study attempts to explore the relationship between the concept of wealth (the way of financial management) proposed by Master Hsing Yun.

This book discusses Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and their ability to predict outcomes using deep and shallow learning principles. The author first describes ANN implementation, consisting of at least three layers that must be established together with cells, one of which is input, the other is output, and the third is a hidden (intermediate) layer. For this, the author states, it is necessary to develop an architecture that will not model mathematical rules but only the action and response variables that control the event and the reactions that may occur within it. The book explains the reasons and necessity of each ANN model, considering the similarity to the previous methods and the philosophical - logical rules.

Social capital is considered as one of the emerging and controversial fields in the interdisciplinary studies of sociology and economics. The state of the economic system, benefiting from health and well-being and having friendly relations with others are part of the basic elements needed that are effective in improving the quality of life. After the second world war, most development theories and theories that tried to provide a way to achieve economic development and move towards a welfare society, without considering the context of the society and how the human relations hidden in it affected the economic planning of the governments. While recent researches have shown that the way people interact with each other, the manner and extent of their participation in civil affairs and their common beliefs and values can have a significant effect in reducing time and economic and social costs. Therefore, the concept of social capital has been proposed, which includes institutions, relationships, attitudes and values that guide people's interaction and make them participate in economic and social development.

Dieses Buch beinhaltet methodische Grundlagen sowie mehrere empirische Anwendungen der vom Autor entwickelten neuartigen Methode zur Dekomposition von Marktanteilen. Philipp Brüggemann zeigt am Beispiel der Marktanteile von Hersteller- und Handelsmarken sowie von Vertriebslinien, wie bisherige Marktanteilsanalysen durch eine Dekomposition nach Normal- und Sonderpreisen verbessert werden können. Die Methode zeichnet sich durch eine hohe Übertragbarkeit auf unterschiedliche Fragestellungen für Wissenschaft und Praxis aus. Diese neuartige Methode kann ¿ über die Marktanteilsanalyse hinaus ¿ auf zahlreiche weitere relative und absolute Kennzahlen übertragen werden. Mit Hilfe der Regressionsanalyse bzw. der Strukturgleichungsanalyse kann diese Methode genutzt werden, um Wirkungsbeziehungen zwischen unabhängigen und abhängigen Variablen in Komponenten zu zerlegen.

At the beginning of the third millennium, with the passing of the industrial age, the fourth wave of human life, which Peter Drucker uses the term "knowledge society" for this wave, has been formed, and the schools of advanced countries in this era have achieved characteristics that traditional form of schools is understood to be distinct. Also, education has always played a very important role in human life and has changed and transformed along with the change of human life and the development of technology. In this way, it can be claimed that the development of the educational system in the age of information and communication technology is one of the main challenges of policy makers. In many countries of the world, the expansion of information technology has been considered in education and both developed and developing countries have designed comprehensive programs to equip schools with various facilities.

A long tradition explains technological change as recombination. Within this tradition, this Element develops an innovative combinatorial model of technological change and tests it with 2,000 years of global GDP data and with data from US patents filed between 1835 and 2010. The model explains 1) the pace of technological change for a least the past two millennia, 2) patent citations and 3) the increasing complexity of tools over time. It shows that combining and modifying pre-existing goods to produce new goods generates the observed historical pattern of technological change. A long period of stasis was followed by sudden super-exponential growth in the number of goods. In this model, the sudden explosion of about 250 years ago is a combinatorial explosion that was a long time in coming, but inevitable once the process began at least two thousand years ago. This Element models the Industrial Revolution as a combinatorial explosion.
