Die Einführung CSR- und wertebasierter Unternehmensziele und Managementmethoden wird von Führungskräften und Mitarbeitern häufig als Überforderung empfunden und löst Bedenken und teilweise Ängste aus. Diesem Phänomen kann alleine durch eine gelungene Schulung in den Theorien und Methoden entgegengetreten werden. Das hier vorgeschlagene Sechs-Schritte-Programm zur Schulung dieser Theorien und Methoden weckt das Bewusstsein für die Notwendigkeit eines Paradigmenwechsels und vermittelt den betroffenen Individuen die erforderlichen Kenntnisse und Werkzeuge, sich dieser Herausforderung zu stellen. In sechs Arbeitsschritten wird von der Phänomenologie der derzeitigen Unternehmenswelt über die theoretische Analyse der Situation bis hin zur Vorstellung geeigneter Tools und der möglichen Risiken ein Weg zur erfolgreichen Schulung gezeigt.
Verlängerte Werkbank, Global Sourcing, Low-Cost-Country-Potenziale, Outsourcing: Seit Jahren herrscht eine inflationäre Verwendung dieser Schlagworte in den Vorstandsetagen. Der Markt für professionelle Dienstleistungen ist schon lange nicht mehr auf die Strategieberatungsbranche beschränkt. Mittlerweile gibt es fast keinen Unternehmensprozess in einem produzierenden Unternehmen mehr, der nicht hinsichtlich seiner Auslagerbarkeit an Berater oder Dienstleister geprüft wurde. Die Autorin beschreibt, warum professionelle Dienstleister zunehmend beauftragt werden und zeigt am Beispiel einer Service-Performance-Studie die Erfolgsfaktoren für die Zusammenarbeit auf. Anhand einer Collaboration Check List legt sie dar, was im täglichen Doing wichtig ist. Abschließend werden die Risiken und Chancen der Inanspruchnahme von Dienstleistungen aus Kunden- und Lieferantenperspektive beleuchtet.
Military organizations have special features like following different organizational laws in times of peace and war and their specific embeddedness in society and politics. Especially the latter aspect has made the military an important object of study since the beginnings of modern sociology. In the wake of establishing specific sociological accounts, military sociology has been developed, dedicated to the different facets of the military. This research is based on different theoretical perspectives, but has hardly embraced the frameworks from economics and sociology of conventions (EC/SC) so far. The aim of the chapter is to explore and demonstrate the potentials of this approach. In a first step, the state of the art of military sociology research is outlined, and potential avenues for analyzing military forces based on EC/SC are identified. It is argued that especially the connection to organizational theory (military as organization) and civil-military relations, including leadership and professionalism, offer starting points. After introducing existing studies addressing military-related topics with reference to EC/SC, relevant concepts and approaches of convention theory that prove to be particularly enriching for military research are discussed. An outlook on possible further fields and topics of research is given to concretize how an inclusion of the perspective of EC/SC could look like.
In a networked world, companies depend on fast and smart decisions, especially when it comes to reacting to external change. With the wealth of data available today, smart decisions can increasingly be based on data analysis and be supported by IT systems that leverage AI. A global pandemic brings external change to an unprecedented level of unpredictability and severity of impact. Resilience therefore becomes an essential factor in most decisions when aiming at making and keeping them smart. In this chapter, we study the characteristics of resilient systems and test them with four use cases in a wide-ranging set of application areas. In all use cases, we highlight how AI can be used for data analysis to make smart decisions and contribute to the resilience of systems.
Ziel des Beitrages ist es, sinnlich-ästhetisch Weltzugänge am Beispiel des Designs für pädagogische Kontexte herauszuarbeiten. Gleichermaßen soll eine Reflexion darüber in Gang gesetzt werden, welche Potenziale transdisziplinär geprägte Gestaltungsprozesse für das Lernen und Lehren bereithalten. Zunächst wird daher die transdisziplinäre Natur des Designs geschichtlich hergeleitet und verschiedene Prozesse beleuchtet. Das sich anschließende Kapitel arbeitet unter dem Begriff der Gestaltung jene Merkmale und Qualitäten professionellen Designs heraus, die allen Prozessen zugrunde liegen. Abschließend wird das Konzept des Design Thinking vor dem Hintergrund erfahrungsbasierten Lernens in der Schulbildung diskutiert und mit Beispielen aus empirischen Studien untermauert.
The purpose of this paper is to give an overview about the links between fashion businesses and film from a fashion business perspective. It focuses on the idea that digitalization brought much more film use for the fashion industry and that this development has just begun and not ended. This change finally also has an intense impact on the fashion industry, as fashion companies nowadays are content producers with films, too. The resulting closer connection with viewers via social media exposes fashion companies, gives on the other hand new influence potential to the fashion system. An in-depth future research about the fashion and film system is therefore required to develop answers for the current situation. This article should be interpreted more as a personal viewpoint of the author to this topic rather than a research paper based on the usual methodological criteria.
Today, digitalization is firmly anchored in society and business. It is also recognized to have significant impact on the retailing sector. The in-store display of moving images has so far, however, gained little attention by researchers. The aim of this research is to provide a first estimation on the current state of moving images distribution in stationary retail stores. A store check was the basis for analysis and evaluation. In sum, 152 stores were analyzed in Stuttgart, Germany. Out of 152 observed stores, 62 stores showed 177 moving images. Detailed analyses about content, mood, color and the actors of motion pictures showed that all aspects are very well harmonized with the target group of the store. The chapter provides a basic estimation of the in-store diffusion of moving images. Thereby, avenues for further research are opened up.

This chapter discusses German television as a platform for fashion content and, in that context, streaming services as possible alternatives. Three German television channels were surveilled over the period of one month, as well as the two most popular streaming services in Germany and the online media library of one German television channel over six months, regarding length, fashion connection, transmission time and success. Additionally, for three channels fashion advertisement was analyzed. Broadcasting the most contributions with fashion connection in one month, VOX was the channel being the most fashionable. Aiming to entertain, informative contributions about fashion in television build a minority. Streaming services offer more flexibility, which the user is asking for. All three television stations show fashion brand spots during prime-time. Especially ProSieben and sixx are in close cooperation with several fashion brands. Therefore, fashion advertising seems to be preferably inserted in fashion related series.
Based on new ways of watching series via streaming platforms and a change of buying behavior, advertising needs to focus on new strategies. Branded entertainment gives brands the opportunity to deeper integrate their product placements into television show plots. Through a managerial perspective this increases the advertising effectiveness. The serial ‘Sex and the City’ exemplifies successful branded entertainment and shows how series influence fashion nowadays. The placements are outstanding when it comes to storytelling around the brand or product, setting trends and creating a character connection plus a desire through identification. This chapter shows success factors and chances of placements for the fashion industry.
