Digitalisierung, Nachhaltigkeit und Subjektivierung - zu den Ansprüchen dieser Themenfelder müssen Unternehmen generativ antwortfähig werden, wenn Sie den Abgrund der Bedeutungslosigkeit verhindern wollen. Die vorliegende Forschungsarbeit entwirft eine erste Skizze, wie die Funktionsweise eines Unternehmens zu begreifen ist, welche die irritierenden Ansprüche nicht ignoriert, sondern erfolgreich integriert. Um nutzbare und gewichtige Ergebnisse zu erzielen, verwendet Moritz Schirmer Abwandlungen des Repertory Grids und integriert dabei qualitatives Deutungsvermögen mit quantitativer Güteleistung. Der Autor kombiniert KI mit Psychometrie und bringt Anwendungen für die Entwicklung neuer Unternehmen in die Welt.

Today, human resources are the main capital of the organization. Despite having competent and worthy human resources, organizations need the ability to use these resources. In fact, by relying on the performance of employees and human capital management and providing scientific and practical methods, organizations seek to increase their efficiency and effectiveness. Human resource management tasks have been considered as one of the most important components affecting organizational performance. In fact, organizations can use the strategic tasks of human resource management such as recruitment, training and development, participation, performance evaluation and reward in order to improve effective performance. The strategic tasks of human resources play a vital role in influencing the performance of the organization. When organizations improve innovative activities, they face more uncertainty and variation in work processes. In this situation, these organizations need creative and flexible employees, risk-takers and high tolerance for uncertainty and ambiguity. Therefore, organizations should put more emphasis on the task of recruiting employees.

Acceleratoren sind ein neues, schnell wachsendes Element in unternehmerischen Ökosystemen und trotz ihrer erst kurzen Geschichte weit verbreitet. Das Wissen über die Auswirkungen von Acceleratoren auf die Entwicklung der teilnehmenden Start-ups ist jedoch nach wie vor begrenzt. Thomas Ulmer hat mit Hilfe eines qualitativen Forschungsdesigns, basierend auf 21 Interviews, die wertsteigernden Mechanismen von Acceleratoren aus Sicht von Gründern untersucht. Dabei zeigt sich erstens, dass Acceleratoren jeden Schritt der Ressourcenmobilisierung erleichtern, indem sie Unsicherheiten reduzieren und Defizite der Gründer und Start-ups kompensieren. Zweitens wird der Gründungsprozess durch Acceleratoren auch besser strukturiert, da die Teilnehmer eine Gründeridentität aufbauen und der Gründungsprozess selbst professionalisiert wird. Schließlich unterstützen Acceleratoren Start-ups beim Aufbau einer Ressourcenbasis, indem sie zum einen Ressourcen unmittelbar bereitstellen und zum anderen Brücken zur Akquise verschiedener Ressourcen schlagen. Neben diesem theoretischen Erkenntnisgewinn können auch eine Reihe von Praxisimplikationen abgeleitet werden, die die Arbeit für Gründer, Manager von Acceleratoren und Entscheidungsträger der Politik interessant machen.

Dieses Open-Access-Buch klärt die Frage, ob Marketing einen essenziellen Beitrag leisten kann, um die Herausforderungen der gegenwärtigen Klima- und Vielfachkrise zu bewältigen. Louise I. H. Rieck untersucht das Transformationspotenzial von Marketing mithilfe des innovativen Forschungsinstrumentes der Erkundungsaufstellung. Die Untersuchung identifiziert eine Reihe an irreführenden Annahmen im klassischen Mindset, z. B. bezüglich der Axiome ¿Konsumentensouveränität¿ und ¿Verbrauchermacht¿. Auch der Topos vom ¿grünen Wachstum¿ erweist sich als Sackgasse. In der repräsentierenden Wahrnehmung zeigt sich ein neues, weitsichtiges Marketingdenken, das Erwerbsorientierung und Ressourcenorientierung als Antagonisten begreift, die zueinander in einem kreativ-fruchtbaren Spannungsverhältnis stehen. Als Ergebnis der Untersuchung steht die Idee eines anderen, zukunftsorientierten Marketing, das als Katalysator für transformative Bewegungen und ressourcengerechte Konsuminnovationen wirken kann.Das Merkmal, welches das besondere Potenzial von Marketing für eine ressourcenorientierte Transformation des Konsumsystems ¿ seine USP gegenüber anderen verbraucherpolitischen Akteuren ¿ begründet, überrascht: Es liegt im besonderen Verhältnis von Marketing zur Wahrheit.

The objective of this study is to create a new e-learning artefact for SAP S/4 Hana training purposes. Based on Design Science Research, a new prototype of an e-learning artefact has been developed. The prototype is grounded on didactic and information systems theories, as well as models. The aim of this new prototype is to transfer knowledge of business processes with the new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) SAP S/4 HANA in an effective and efficient way. The study is validated through an experiment with a treatment and a control group. While the treatment group learns with the new e-learning artefact, the control group keeps with the existing conventional training. Results show that the treatment group have significantly less dropouts than the control group, and that the treatment group could also finalize the SAP S/4 Hana exercises in less time. This study shows also how companies can benefit significantly using the same approach through a set of guidelines.

The possibilities and limits of digitalization in general and artificial intelligence in particular are demonstrated in a practice-oriented manner. Ways to generate and secure competitive advantages are presented. The topic is examined from the perspective of the company, the function of controlling and the personal position in controlling. The aim is rather to accompany the reader in the concrete implementation than to present a uniform guide.

TRIZ is a valuable tool for inventive problem solving. Based on patent analysis TRIZ enables the faster solution-oriented generation of ideas in fields of technology, organizations, and software. TRIZ originated from mainly mechanical problems. But it can be applied very successfully as well for other branches like business, or sustainability or in traffic planning. This enlarged application range offers supplementary value of the tool box TRIZ. The 2nd TRIZ online conference by Bayern Innovativ was born from the TRIZ-Anwendertage. The idea behind is providing a platform that allows to discuss and display TRIZ development in the context of innovation methodology. This book presents papers in English & German language on how TRIZ is related to other tools like Design Thinking, the St. Gallen Business models, etc. and to different areas of application, not only electro-mechanical.

India is an emerging economy with a population of more than One Billion. Nearly 40per cent of the population lives below the poverty line and 70 per cent of the population is dependent on the agriculture for sustenance. The economic reconstruction of India depends on the balanced growth of economy in the fields of agriculture and industry. Because capital and finance have been scarce in India, the Government of India has encouraged alternatives to agriculture and heavy industries like small-scale industries, which can operate on limited resources. A small-scale industry can be operated by an entrepreneur without needing sophisticated machinery and modem technology. These small-scale industrial units can be established in semi-urban and rural areas where the infrastructure is underdeveloped. The objective is to use local raw material for raising production with the help of local skills. Small-scale industries provide employment without affecting the main occupational -agriculture- of illiterate people in rural areas in India.

En sciences de gestion, plusieurs travaux ont porté sur la thématique de la responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RSE) et celle du comportement organisationnel des salariés. Cependant, rares sont celles qui ont concilié ces deux thèmes. Ainsi, cet ouvrage étudie les effets de la perception de la RSE par les salariés sur leur engagement affectif et leur satisfaction au travail. En effet, nous avons porté notre attention sur les processus et les mécanismes intermédiaires à partir desquels la RSE influence les attitudes et comportements des salariés. Comme terrain d¿investigation, nous avons choisi les entreprises du secteur privé de Côte d¿Ivoire. Ce livre qui est le résultat de plusieurs années d¿études et de recherche s¿adresse aux étudiants, aux professionnels ainsi qüaux enseignants désireux d¿approfondir leurs connaissances sur les concepts évoqués. Pour traiter la problématique de notre recherche, nous nous sommes appuyés sur la théorie de l¿échange social pour aboutir à l¿influence positive de la RSE sur l¿engagement affectif de même que le rôle médiateur de la satisfaction dans cette relation.

The book's core concept is Bitcoin, NFT, Crypto etc, and various types of decentralized digital currency. It explains how this type of system works and explains how it challenges central banks' ability to plan the economy. Ultimately, the book is an educational guide for those who are not developers but want to get more acquainted with this emerging technology. The Introduction to "Book on Decentralized Finance" is the perfect first read for any investor looking for a thorough introduction to the emerging world of decentralized finance. The book covers decentralized finance from basic concepts to in-depth explanations of the various services. It also includes a brief history of finance and a primer on FinTech. The book is organized into chapters that cover various aspects of this emerging area. For instance, the company Synthetix has developed a new kind of derivative made of three assets, each staked by a different individual. This derivative will profit or lose in subsequent market movements. The concept is similar to a "3-D" futures contract.

Could our research tools and techniques be concealing as much as they reveal? Ryan T. MacNeil shows how the common instrumentalities of innovation research carry neoliberal market biases. He calls for critical scholars to examine how we observe and understand innovation, offering ways forward to deconstruct and reform disciplinary conventions. This book makes a valuable contribution to critical management and science and technology studies by shedding light on the 'dark matter' of innovation. This will be an important resource for scholars and practitioners interested in disruptive ideas about innovation.

In the hyper-competitive era, organizations are located in an environment that is characterized by increasing complexity, globalization and dynamism, so organizations face new challenges for their continuity and establishment, and overcoming these challenges requires more attention to the development and strengthening of skills and abilities. It is internal that this work is done through the foundations of organizational knowledge and intellectual capital that organizations use to achieve better performance in the business world. Knowledge and intellectual capital have been recognized as sustainable strategies for obtaining and maintaining the competitive advantage of organizations. On the other hand, any organization created with human power will not be able to survive without it. Therefore, recognizing the needs, motivations, inclinations, factors of satisfaction and dissatisfaction of employees as one of the competitive advantages of the organization is not only necessary, but also necessary to adopt correct policies, appropriate strategies and effective programs.

In dem vorliegenden Buch wird die Einstellung zu agilen Projektsettings durch im Südcluster sozialisierte Projektmitarbeiter untersucht. Der Südcluster stellt dabei eine Zusammenfassung von ¿südlichen¿ Regionen dar, die sich in Hinblick auf die Ausprägungen zentraler Kulturdimensionen ähneln und dabei einigen zentralen Anforderungen an ein agiles Mindset diametral gegenüberstehen. Vorannahme ist dabei, dass das Verhalten vermutlich aufgrund von Trainings und enger Rahmenbedingungen weitestgehend konform ist mit dem Soll-Verhalten, die persönliche Akzeptanz agiler Arbeitsweisen aber weniger stark ausgeprägt ist und es entsprechend zu Unzufriedenheit darüber kommt. Ziel der Forschung ist zudem, die Einflussfaktoren auf Verhalten in und Einstellung zu agilen Projektsettings zu identifizieren, um hier ggf. Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung der Projektdurchführung zu erreichen. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich ein überraschendes, aber nachvollziehbares Gesamtbild, in dem nicht nur eine durchweg positiveEinstellung zu agilen Projektsettings festgestellt werden konnte, sondern darüber hinaus auch keine signifikanten Unterschiede in Verhalten und Einstellung gegenüber der Vergleichsgruppe der im Nordcluster sozialisierten Projektmitarbeiter.

Wiederaufbereitung gebrauchter Medizinprodukte (MP) dient dazu, MP nach operativen Eingriffen zu reinigen, zu desinfizieren, zu überprüfen, zu packen und zu sterilisieren. Sachgerechte und rechtskonforme Wiederaufbereitung von MPs in einer Aufbereitungseinheit für MP (AEMP) zwecks Verwendung am Patienten ist eine komplexe Dienstleistung mit höchsten Anforderungen an Verlässlichkeit in den Qualitätszielen Sauberkeit, Sterilität, Funktionsfähigkeit, Vollständigkeit und Pünktlichkeit der ausgelieferten Produkte. Das neue vorgelegte Konzept geht davon aus, dass eine AEMP wegen ihrer Bedeutung für die Abläufe eines Klinikums und wegen der Komplexität der Anforderungen als Hochverlässlichkeitsorganisation (HRO) zu betrachten ist. HROs gelingt es, komplexe und technologieintensive Verfahren mit sehr geringer Fehlerrate und nahezu Ausbleiben von katastrophalem Versagen einzusetzen. Die anhand von HROs gewonnenen Erkenntnisse nutzt der Autor für sein Konzept, um Herausforderungen beim Betrieb einer AEMP mit solchen Verfahren anzugehen, die bei HROs erprobt sind und dort erfolgreich gehandhabt werden. Daraus wird ein Konzept zur Weiterentwicklung einer AEMP in Richtung einer HRO entwickelt und vorgestellt.

Digital Twinning (DT) is one of the concepts of modern technology, and the size of the scientific market for DT in 2020 reached about $6 billion, and this value is expected to reach $115 billion in 2035, an annual growth rate of 24%. The rate increased to 27% during the period 2020/2030.DT is an electronic digital copy that is identical to something in practical life. The real body is linked with the virtual copy in a way that allows data to be transferred between them through sensors installed in the physical assets through which the data is collected and stored in a storage cloud, after which the original physical object is simulated. There are many benefits to the organization and society from the application of DT. These benefits are reducing product quality problems, reducing maintenance costs, improving employee training, improving the performance of real assets, improving the performance of machines, reducing risks, protecting the health and safety of workers, improving manufacturing processes, and meeting the needs and desires of customers.

The subject of Metaverse technology is still a new topic that needs further study and analysis.It is worth noting that the Metaverse technology is part of the technology, and no one can turn his back on it, and he should be aware of its risks and use it to the extent that it achieves the desired benefit.The governments should pay attention to this technology, and hold conferences, lectures, seminars, and scientific courses to educate members of society and explain its advantages and how people can benefit from it in identifying its risks and impact on humans. This is in addition to the necessity of raising children in a good way in terms of making them aware of this Metaverse technology at home, school, club, and other institutions concerned with education, to produce a good generation that is aware of the dangers surrounding them.
