The last two decades have seen a shift towards service-based value in a process referred to as servitization. Manufacturers have been challenged to create relevant knowledge and adapt to this change. This book has two key purposes. First of all, the authors examine the theoretical underpinnings of knowledge management and servitization, before proposing a conceptual model for knowledge co-creation and organizational knowledge management processes. Then, the model is tested through a series of case studies from Japan and Malaysia, providing insight into experiences of business transformation from produce-centric to service-centric in developed and developing Asian economies. This book will be of interest to academics, students and practitioners in servitization, knowledge creation and knowledge management, especially those interested in Asian economies.

Digital transformation is one of the most discussed topics today because of its impact on society and the economy. This book explores how digital transformation can be made sustainable and how sustainability strategies can be integrated into the different phases of digital transformation development. It shows how ICT experts, managers, and policy makers can contribute to a sustainable digital transformation by examining the technological, organizational, and societal implications.  The book is based on a selection of  best papers on this topic presented at the annual conference of the Italian Chapter of AIS in Trento, Italy, in October 2021.The plurality of views offered makes the book particularly relevant for scholars, companies, and organizations in the public sector.

A smart city is a city that collates data via various technological methods, and uses insights gleaned from this data to manage assets, resources, services and operations more efficiently. Though the concept of 'smart cities' is fairly new, there is a vast amount of interest in the topic, exploring how technological advances can be used to better manage the integration of business and operations within a city, as well as how sustainable choices can be written into the fabric of an urban space. This book explores logistics within smart cities: the greater logistical demands of a smart city, how logistics can be adapted to new challenges, and what sort of new logistical support a smart city will need. The book pays particular attention to how logistical innovation within a smart city can lead to greater sustainability in the city, and on a global level. It will be of interest to academics working in logistics, urban planning, innovation management, digital technology, sustainability management, and operations management.

With this book comes a message that the authors have for management and entrepreneurship experts around the world. Beyond the myth of the 'start-up nation', 'hypergrowth', and speculation on future business value, there exists an alternative form of entrepreneurship that young entrepreneurs are embracing.

Anna Priester untersucht in acht Experimenten, wie sich die Anwendung des Dynamic Pricing auf die Wahrnehmung und Reaktion der Konsumenten auswirkt und welche Einflussfaktoren hierbei eine Rolle spielen. Sie bietet zunachst eine konzeptionelle Analyse und Abgrenzung des Dynamic-Pricing-Begriffs. Die Ergebnisse ihrer empirischen Studien machen einerseits deutlich, dass dynamische Preise einen negativen Einfluss auf die Fairnesswahrnehmung und das Vertrauen der Konsumenten haben. Andererseits legen die Experimente eine Reihe von Determinanten offen, die die Wahrnehmung und Reaktion der Konsumenten beeinflussen. Basierend auf den Erkenntnissen leitet die Autorin Implikationen fur die Wissenschaft und die unternehmerische Praxis ab.

Du er født med en døgnrytme. Det er ikke noget, du vælger. Du er genetisk disponeret for at være morgenfrisk eller aftenfrisk. Jo mere du lever i takt med din døgnrytme, desto bedre helbred har du, og du får mere energi, livskvalitet og en mere produktiv hverdag.I ”Find din døgnrytme” fortæller Camilla Kring om de fascinerende genetiske variationer, der har betydning for, hvordan du strukturerer og udvikler såvel dit arbejdsliv som dit privatliv. Få en ny forståelse af, hvordan du er stykket sammen, og hvordan det at finde og følge din rytme kan ændre dit liv.Landbrugssamfundets hanegal og industrisamfundets taktfaste samlebånd har gennem generationer indprentet deres rytmer i vores måde at leve på. De dikterer en livsstil, hvor ”one size fits all”. Problemet er, at det ikke passer til den mangfoldighed af døgnrytmer, arbejdsrytmer og familierytmer, der er i nutidens samfund. Det nye mindset er derfor ”one size fits one”.Camilla Kring er civilingeniør og ph.d. i balancen mellem arbejdsliv og privatliv. Hun er indehaver af konsulentvirksomheden Super Navigators. I de sidste 16 år har Camilla arbejdet med at skabe fleksible arbejdskulturer, der understøtter forskellige døgnrytmer.

The book showcases research on digital entertainment solutions in different sectors. In recent years, digital media have evolved to include bandwidth-rich, smart, and connected platforms accessed via computers, tablets, smart phones, social media, and video game consoles. The high connectivity and vast processing capacity of these platforms have allowed for platform-agnostic, streaming, always-on, entertainment-on-demand consumption of digital content in a way distinct from traditional models of entertainment consumption. Moving beyond the unilateral delivery of content, with fixed positions of the entertainers and the entertained, digital entertainment is now dynamically generated by users and providers, blurring the boundary between producers and consumers of entertainment. With the increasing accessibility of multimodal media that surround audiences with sensory-rich information, digital entertainment is becoming more immersive.
