Our paper gives first answers on a fundamental question: how can the design of architectures of intelligent digital systems and services be accomplished methodologically? Intelligent systems and services are the goals of many current digitalization efforts today and part of massive digital transformation efforts based on digital technologies. Digital systems and services are the foundation of digital platforms and ecosystems. Digtalization disrupts existing businesses, technologies, and economies and promotes the architecture of open environments. This has a strong impact on new value-added opportunities and the development of intelligent digital systems and services. Digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, services computing, cloud computing, big data with analytics, mobile systems, and social enterprise networks systems are important enablers of digitalization. The current publication presents our research on the architecture of intelligent digital ecosystems and products and services influenced by the service-dominant logic. We present original methodological extensions and a new reference model for digital architectures with an integral service and value perspective to model intelligent systems and services that effectively align digital strategies and architectures with artificial intelligence as main elements to support intelligent digitalization.
Enterprises are currently transforming their strategy, processes, and their information systems to extend their degree of digitalization. The potential of the Internet and related digital technologies, like Internet of Things, services computing, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data with analytics, mobile systems, collaboration networks, and cyber physical systems both drives and enables new business designs. Digitalization deeply disrupts existing businesses, technologies and economies and fosters the architecture of digital environments with many rather small and distributed structures. This has a strong impact for new value producing opportunities and architecting digital services and products guiding their design through exploiting a Service-Dominant Logic. The main result of the book chapter extends methods for integral digital strategies with value-oriented models for digital products and services which are defined in the framework of a multi-perspective digital enterprise architecture reference model.
To deliver on a digital value proposition, companies must fundamentally re-architect. In other words, they must redesign their processes, systems, roles, data, and habits to allow them to iteratively create, enhance, an replace digital offerings. This briefing examines how Royal Philips is transforming its value proposition - and its entire company - to seize the opportunities presented by digital technologies.
Arbeitswelten strategisch entwicklen: mit den DigiTraIn-Instrumenten zur digitalen Transformation
(2021)
Der Weg in die digitale Arbeitswelt ist für viele Unternehmen eine herausfordernde und komplexe Transformation. Um diesen Weg erfolgreich zu beschreiten, benötigen Unternehmen funktionierende Managementinstrumente. Im Projekt DigiTraIn 4.0 wurden vier Instrumente für eine gelingende Transformation in das digitale Arbeiten entwickelt und in der Unternehmenspraxis erprobt. Diese Instrumente werden im vorliegenden Beitrag, ausgehend von der Zielsetzung des Projekts, einführend dargestellt. Zudem wird ein Überblick über die weiteren Beiträge in diesem Buch gegeben, in denen die Instrumente im Detail erläutert werden und spezifische Aspekte des Wandels in die digitale Arbeitswelt im Fokus stehen.
Das Arbeitsrecht für Führungskräfte ist verzwickt: Auf der einen Seite üben sie tägliche geschäftsleitende Aufgaben im Rahmen der festgelegten Unternehmenspolitik aus. Auf der anderen Seite sehen viele Rechtssysteme Führungskräfte als Arbeitnehmer an und integrieren sie in das Arbeitnehmerrecht mit seinen sozialen Schutzvorschriften. In Deutschland wurde z. B. ein spezielles Arbeitsrecht für Arbeitnehmer mit Führungsverantwortung geschaffen, um der Doppelfunktion gerecht zu werden.
Gerade bei Entsendungen von Führungskräften in das Ausland oder vor Entscheidungen über den Kauf von ausländischen Unternehmen ist entscheidend, wie die verschiedenen Rechtssysteme ausgestaltet sind.
Das neue Handbuch gibt entscheidende Hinweise zur arbeitsrechtlichen Stellung von Führungskräften in Belgien, Brasilien, Großbritannien, Frankreich, Deutschland, Italien, Japan, Spanien und den USA.
Zukünftige Montagearbeitsplätze müssen veränderten Herausforderungen, wie z. B. der zunehmenden Anzahl von Mensch Roboter-Kollaborationen, gerecht werden. Die Virtual Reality (VR)-Technik bietet im Rahmen der Arbeitsplatzgestaltung neue Möglichkeiten, diesen veränderten Planungsherausforderungen gerecht zu werden. Die Ausarbeitung stellt eine Methode zur Bewertung des sinnvollen Einsatzes der VR-Technik für einen spezifischen Arbeitsplatz vor. Außerdem wird aufgezeigt, wie die VR-Technik in den Prozess der Arbeitsplatzgestaltung integriert werden kann.
The evolution of Services Oriented Architectures (SOA) presents many challenges due to their complex, dynamic and heterogeneous nature. We describe how SOA design principles can facilitate SOA evolvability and examine several approaches to support SOA evolution. SOA evolution approaches can be classified based on the level of granularity they address, namely, service code level, service interaction level and model level. We also discuss emerging trends, such as microservices and knowledge-based support, which can enhance the evolution of future SOA systems.
The early involvement of experiences gained through intelligence and data analysis is becoming increasingly important in order to develop new products, leading to a completely different conception of product creation, development and engineering processes using the advantages that the dedication of the digital twin entails. Introducing a novel stage gate process in order to be holistically anchored in learning factories adopting idea generation and idea screening in an early stage, beta testing of first prototypes, technical implementation in real production scenarios, business analysis, market evaluation, pricing, service models as well as innovative social media portals. Corresponding product modelling in the sense of sustainability, circular economy, and data analytics forecasts the product on the market both before and after market launch with the interlinking of data interpretation nearby in real-time. The digital twin represents the link between the digital model and the digital shadow. Additionally, the connection of the digital twin with the product provides constantly updated operating status and process data as well as mapping of technical properties and real-world behaviours. A future-networking product, by embedded information technology with the ability to initiate and carry out one's own further development, is able to interact with people and environments and thus is relevant to the way of life of future generations. In today's development work for this new product creation approach, on one hand, "Werk150" is the object of the development itself and on the other hand the validation environment. In the next step, new learning modules and scenarios for trainings at master level will be derived from these findings.
It has not yet been possible to achieve the desired aim of decoupling economic growth from global material demand. Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) represent the backbone of most industrialized economies. Although material efficiency is of vital importance for many SMEs, few of them actually treat it as their top priority. There is a cornucopia of tools and methods available, which can be used for material efficiency purposes. These, however, have gained little groud in the SME-field. This work deals with the enabling factors for material efficiency improvements in manufacturing SMEs and projections towards aspects of supply chain and circular economy. A multi-disciplinary decoupling approach for manufacturing SMEs and an implementation roadmap for further practical development are proposed. The approach combines appropriate complexity of technology and socio-economic considerations. It enables a connection to existing methods and the implementation of established information technologies.
