Different sensor types using chemical and biochemical principles are described. The former are mainly gas sensors, the latter are applied especially to liquids. Those label-free direct detection methods are compared with applications where assays take advantage of labeled receptors.
Furthermore, selected applications in the area of gas sensors are discussed, and sensors for process control, point-of-care diagnostics, environmental analytics, and food analytics are reviewed. In addition, multiplexing approaches used in microplates and microarrays are described.
On account of the huge number of sensor types and the wide range of possible applications, only the most important ones are selected here.
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.
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the interconnectedness of physical objects, and works by equipping the latter with sensors and actuators as a means to connect to the internet. The number of connected things has increased threefold over the past five years. Consequently, firms expect the IoT to become a source of new business models driven by technology. However, only a few early adopters have started to install and use IoT appliances on a frequent basis. So it is still unclear which factors drive technological acceptance of IoT appliances. Confronting this gap in current research, the present paper explores how IoT appliances are conceptually defined, which factors drive technological acceptance of IoT appliances, and how firms can use results in order to improve value propositions in corresponding business models. lt is discovered that IoT appliance vendors need to support a broad focus as the potential buyers expose a large variety. As conclusions from this insight, the paper illustrates some flexible marketing strategies.
Business process management and IT supported processes are an actual topic. The procedure of finding a business process system that implements your processes the best way is not easy and takes a lot of time. In this article you will find a recommendation for an open source system. Four selected open source workflow management systems are tested and analyzed. Mean criteria for the evaluation are listed in a criteria catalogue and rated by experts by their importance. Finally, the systems are evaluated by the criteria and the best evaluated system can be recommended.
Converting users into customers : the role of user profile information and customer journey analysis
(2016)
Due to the digital transformation, the importance of web analysis and user profiling for enterprises is increasing rapidly as customers focus on digital channels to obtain information about products and brands. While there exists a lot research on these topics, only a minority of firms use them to their advantage. This study aims to tighten the link between research and business such that experimental methods can be used for the improvement of communication strategies in practice. Therefore, a systematic literature analysis is conducted, workshops are observed and documented and an empirical study is used to integrate single steps into a framework for the
practical usage of user profiling and customer journey analysis.
As long as there have been professional sports, there have been relationships on different levels. For example, sponsorship (or patronage as it was called in the early days) was mostly based on personal relations between the local benefactors and their favourite sports club. Regarding media, clubs always maintained special relationships with selected journalists. The bond between fans and their clubs was always a close and mutually beneficial one. All these relationships existed from the start of the sports business. Therefore, relationship marketing is nothing new in the context of sports. Many sporting organisations always knew to value a deep and good relationship with their stakeholders and practised relationship marketing without being aware of it. Successful sports managers, however, take the old wisdom and turn it into a modern relationship marketing approach by structuring the various relationships in order to make them more effective and profitable for the own sporting organisation and the various stakeholders. This chapter ... illustrates the many facets of relationship marketing and the possibilities it offers in the context of the sports business.
Dieser Beitrag beschreibt das Markenmanagement von Profifußballvereinen durch den Einsatz von Social Media. Um sich ein stückweit vom nichtplanbaren sportlichen Erfolg unabhängig zu machen, sollten sich Fußballvereine als Marke positionieren. Dazu steht ihnen allerdings traditionellerweise ein geringes Marketingbudget zur Verfügung. Social Media bietet Fußballvereinen die Möglichkeit, relativ kostengünstig und effektiv die eigene Marke aufzubauen und zu pflegen. Der Beitrag erläutert diesbezüglich die Notwendigkeit eines systematischen Markenmanagements, geht auf die Besonderheiten der Vermarktung eines Profifußballvereins ein und zeigt anhand von Beispielen, wie Social Media zum Markenaufbau respektive zur Markenpflege genutzt werden kann.
Stress is becoming an important topic in modern life. The influence of stress results in a higher rate of health disorders such as burnout, heart problems, obesity, asthma, diabetes, depressions and many others. Furthermore individual’s behavior and capabilities could be directly affected leading to altered cognition, inappropriate decision making and problem solving skills. In a dynamic and unpredictable environment, such as automotive, this can result in a higher risk for accidents. Different papers faced the estimation as well as prediction of drivers’ stress level during driving. Another important question is not only the stress level of the driver himself, but also the influence on and of a group of other drivers in the near area. This paper proposes a system, which determines a group of drivers in a near area as clusters and it derives the individual stress level. This information will be analyzed to generate a stress map, which represents a graphical view about road section with a higher stress influence. Aggregated data can be used to generate navigation routes with a lower stress influence to decrease stress influenced driving as well as improve road safety.
