In einer guten Kunden-Lieferanten-Beziehung, geprägt von einer Win-Win-Situation, wird die Festlegung der Bestell- und Produktionslosgröße häufig diskutiert. Um die kostenoptimale Lösung für das Gesamtsystem zu finden, ist ein ganzheitlicher Ansatz auf Prozesskostenbasis erforderlich. In diesem Beitrag wird ein integrierter Ansatz zur Bestimmung der optimalen Losgröße dargestellt, der basierend auf einer prozesskostenbasierten Berechnung noch weitere Parameter miteinbezieht.
Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten der Bilanzierung einens Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) beim Emittenten auf der Passivseite nach den Regelungen der IFRS. Ziel ist es, die bilanzielle Einordnung anhand verschiedenenr Arten von Token zu erörtern und den Emittenten bei der Ausgestaltung der Token sowie der anschließenden Bilanzierung zu unterstützen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Standards für die bilanzielle Einordnung von ICO-Token zwar ausreichen, allerdings eine große Bandbreite der Bilanzierung zu berücksichtigen ist und eine detaillierte Regelung durch einen eigenen IFRS daher schwierig erscheint.
The SDGs give an overview of the world's development challenges of the present and the coming decades and set a new global agenda for more inclusive and sustainable development and growth. These challenges also represent opportunities for social innovations and the creation of scalable and financially self-sustaining solutions by businesses and (social) entrepreneurs. Examples of solutions to social and ecological challenges are for instance providing low-income communities with access to affordable, quality products and services in areas such as water and sanitation, energy, health, education and finance. New business models can meet customer demands by providing solutions and thereby create opportunities for low-income people as employees, suppliers and distributors.
Die klassischen Vertriebsaufgaben verändern sich intensiv und schnell. Vertriebsmanager benötigen dringend neue strategische Ansätze, wie sie künftig Kundenkontakte gestalten, Distributionskanäle steuern und effektiver verkaufen können. Eine aktuelle Studie gibt Aufschluss, wie sich Unternehmen auf den Strukturwandel einstellen können.
Participation in fast fashion brands’ clothes recycling plans in an omnichannel retail environment
(2020)
The rise of the fast fashion industry allows more and more people to participate in fashion consumption, but goes along with negative consequences on the environment. To reduce wastage, fast fashion retailers have begun to offer used clothes recycling plans to which customers can submit clothes they no longer wear. Since these recycling plans have mainly been operated in offline stores so far, the rise of omnichannel retailing poses new challenges on retailers with regard to organizing the plan and motivating consumers to participate. On a sample of N=370 Chinese fast fashion consumers, this paper investigates, which factors determine consumers’ willingness to participate in fast fashion brands’ used clothes recycling plans in an omnichannel retailing environment. It finds that consumers’ clothes recycling intention is determined by individual predispositions (environmental attitude, impulsive consumption), as well as by organizational arrangements (channel integration quality), as well as by the outcomes of their interaction (consumer satisfaction, brand identification). Conclusions are drawn, implications for omnichannel fast fashion retailing practice, as well as for further research, derived, and limitations discussed.
Businesses need to cope with myriad challenges including increasingly competitive markets and rapid developments in digital technology. The overall aim of the research described in this paper is to generate fresh insights into the impacts of digitalisation on the design and management of global supply chains. It focuses on understanding the current adoption rate of new technologies in global supply chains, identifying perceived opportunities and challenges and clarifying the critical factors driving (and inhibiting) their deployment. The authors administered an online survey with a global sample of respondents from various supply chain functions, resulting in a sample of 142 responses. Significant differences emerged in adoption patterns between companies of different sizes. Moreover, the study pointed to a widening gap (or a ‘digital divide’) between leaders and laggards in terms of technology adoption. Perceived benefits and challenges also differ notably between companies of varying sizes. Adoption patterns are very diverse across specific technologies. The results further suggest that there is a significant correlation between adoption of digital technologies and different dimensions of company performance.
Companies compete more and more as integrated supply chains rather than as individual firms. The success of the entire supply chain determines the economic well-being of the individual company. With management attention shifting to supply chains, the role of management accounting naturally must extend to the cross-company layer as well. This book demonstrates how management accounting can make a significant contribution to supply chain success.It targets students who are already familiar with the fundamentals of accounting and now want to extend their expertise in the field of cross company (or network) management accounting. Practitioners will draw valuable insights from the text as well.
This book presents an empirical investigation of the efforts that multinational pharmaceutical companies take in order to find a business model that allows for a profitable access to the Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP) markets. The Bottom of the Pyramid in Africa is frequently mentioned as an attractive market due to its sheer size. Yet most companies struggle to access it because of the low price level, difficult physical market access and challenges when it comes to payment.
More specifically, the book investigates the following business model-related questions: Do pharmaceutical companies provide products that meet the needs of the BoP? What characterizes the value generation of the company? What revenue model leads to a profitable business, and what role does a network of partners play in the business model?
Findings reveal that there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ answer to these questions. Providing continuous availability, affordability at a good quality of goods and services, creating health awareness, as well as localizing business to achieve a level of inclusivenessare essential prerequisites for success. In the last chapter this book provides a business model prototype that accounts for these key success factors for business at the Bottom of the Pyramid and points to further research topics.
Dieser Beitrag analysiert die Reform der IFRS und US-GAAP-Standards zur Bilanzierung von Leasingverhältnissen. Am Beispiel der McKesson Europe AG werden die Auswirkungen der erstmaligen Anwendung der Standards beim Leasingnehmer veranschaulicht. Von besonderem Interesse ist dabei ein Vergleich der Bilanzierungsmodelle nach den "alten" Standards IAS 17 und ASC 840 bzw. nach den "neuen" Standards IFRS 16 und ASC 842. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich keine vollständige Übereinstimmung von IFRS und US-GAAP. Vor allem beim Ausweis in der Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung ergeben sich Unterschiede, die sich auch auf die Ergebniskennzahlen auswirken.
