Einige digitale Plattformen haben inzwischen eine kaum zu durchdringende Marktmacht aufgebaut. Diese ist ein Resultat ihres strukturellen Aufbaus als Vermittler zwischen Mitgliedern unter dem Einfluss von Netzeffekten sowie dem Skalierungs- und Hybridisierungspotenzial. Ergänzt wird diese strukturbedingte Marktmacht durch eine algorithmenbasierte Marktmacht, welche auf der Auswertung personenbezogener Daten und der Personalisierung von Inhalten basiert. Jene Plattform, welche die Daten ihrer Mitglieder am besten auswertet und auch die effektivste Personalisierung bietet, setzt sich im sog. »Race for Relevance« durch. Die Gründe der Marktmacht digitaler Plattformen werden unter betriebswirtschaftlichem Blickwinkel analysiert und die daraus entstehenden Herausforderungen diskutiert. Eine empirische Untersuchung analysiert die Präferenzen von Menschen zur Nutzung insb. von Content-Plattformen, welche als besonders daten-analytisch beschrieben werden können.

Established firms need to balance their current business with future opportunities. The structures and processes that foster renewal and innovation differ from those allowing the firm to maintain daily operations. This book explores how managers can develop innovation capacity in the established firm, thus enabling repeated innovation and renewal. The underlying foundation of the book is the belief that innovation is a result of the interactions among people within and around the established firm. We present eight distinct organizational solutions that enable innovation and renewal. For each solution, we describe the theory behind it and illustrate it with recent cases, most of them from Norway or the Nordics. The book targets managers and employees in the private and public sectors who hold responsibility for innovation and renewal in an established firm. It is also suitable for students, particularly within the fields of strategy, organization and management.

Challenge-based research focuses on addressing societal and environmental problems. One way of doing so is by transforming existing businesses to profitable ventures through co-creation and co-evolution. Drawing on the resource-based view, this book discusses how social challenges can be linked with the industrial value-chain through collaborative research, knowledge sharing, and transfer of technology to deliver value. The work is divided into three sections: Part 1 discusses social challenges, triple bottom line, and entrepreneurship as drivers for research, learning, and innovation while Part 2 links challenge-based research to social and industrial development in emerging markets. The final section considers research-based innovation and the role of technology, with the final chapter bridging concepts and practices to shape the future of society and industry. The authors present the RISE paradigm, which integrates people (society), planet (sustainability),and profit (industry and business) as critical constructs for socio-economic and regional development. Arguing that the converging of society and industry is essential for the business ecosystem to stay competitive in the marketplace, this book analyzes possible approaches to linking challenge-based research with social and industrial innovations in the context of sectoral challenges like food production, housing, energy, biotechnology, and sustainability. It will serve as a valuable resource to researchers interested in topics such as social challenges, innovation, technology, sustainability, and society-industry linkage.

This book describes the groundbreaking work of Chaim Leib Pekeris and his collaborators. Between 1955 and 1963 they used the first electronic computer built in Israel, the Weizmann Automatic Computer (WEIZAC), to develop powerful numerical methods that helped achieve new and accurate solutions of the Boltzmann equation, calculate energy levels of the helium atom, produce detailed geophysical and seismological models derived from the study of the free oscillations of the earth, and refine models used to predict meteorological phenomena and global oceanic tides. This book provides a unique account of the pioneering work of Chaim L. Pekeris in applied mathematics and explains in detail the background to the rise of the Weizmann Institute as a world-class center of scientific excellence. This hitherto untold story is of great interest to historians of twentieth-century science with special emphasis on the application of computer-assisted numerical methods in various branches of mathematical physics.

Open Strategy beschreibt die Öffnung strategischer Prozesse in Unternehmen, wodurch Mitarbeiter und externe Akteure durch Inklusion in die Strategiefindung und durch die Transparenz strategischer Prozesse und Entscheidungen in die Strategiefindung einbezogen und informiert werden. Im Zuge des Einbeziehens haben diese Mitarbeiter und externen Akteure die Möglichkeit strategische Prozesse, unabhängig ihrer formellen Entscheidungsbefugnis, zu beeinflussen. Sofern dieser Einfluss in der Strategieformulierung und in der Strategieumsetzung identifizierbar ist, lässt sich Strategy Ownership bei Akteuren identifizieren. Strategy Ownership bietet hierbei die Möglichkeit Auswirkungen auf Mitarbeiter und externe Akteure im Rahmen der Strategiefindung und Umsetzung zu erklären und kausal zu begründen. Die vorliegende Untersuchung befasst sich mit der Fragestellung, wie strategische Entscheidungen in Open Strategy beeinflusst werden, wie Strategy Ownership in Open Strategy als theoretisch-konzeptioneller Bezugsrahmen im Open-Strategy-Kontext dargelegt werden kann und welche Implikationen sich durch das Konzept von Strategy Ownership ergeben.
