Sesam öffne Dich
(2017)
Aus ähnlichen Beweggründen, die Ferdinand von Steinbeis im Großen verfolgte, ist es den Bemühungen des Textilfachlehrers Reichelt und dem damaligen Prof. Stängle zu verdanken, dass gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts an der in der Zwischenzeit zum Technikum für Textilindustrie avancierten Reutlinger Textilanstalt eine reichhaltige Sammlung von Modellen und Gewebemustern eingerichtet und aufgebaut wurde. Den Schwerpunkt der aus über 500000 Mustern und Gewebefragmenten bestehenden Kollektion bilden europäische Jacquard-Gewebe und engliche Anzugsstoffe aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Das Glanzstück der Reutlinger Gewebesammlung bilden ... etwa 900 altjapanische Gewebefragmente aus der Zeit von 1530 bis 1880 ...
This research is about Omnichannel Retailing and addresses the question how the omnichanneling of retailers in the fashion market can be measured. Our sources will include books, interviews, newspapers and scientific databases.
Omnichanneling is a current topic in the fashion market, retailers all over the world face the question on how to adapt to the challenges Omnichannel Retailing sets. We are going to define what Omnichanneling is by explaining the differences between Multiple-, Multi-, Cross- and Omnichannel Retailing. After we defined omnichanneling itself, we took a set of 26 retailers to evaluate regarding their Omnichannel capabilities. Then we create an index with criteria that can measure the Omnichannel capability of each retailer.
The Omnichannel Score is based on 31 criteria, which analyze the retailers in offline, online, mobile and social aspects enables to see differences between retailers. Our findings were that retailers in the US fashion market are more advanced in Omnichannel Retailing than retailers in the German fashion market. Our top three Omnichannel retailers were Sears with an Omnichannel Score of 91, followed by KOHL’S and Marks&Spencer, both with a Omnichannel Score of 88. The best Omnichannel Retailer from Germany was Adidas with the fourth place and an Omnichannel Score of 81.
There is no doubt that the amplification of channel integration towards an omni-channel structure is a powerful idea whose time has finally come. The digitally cross-linked world postulates all-encompassing, ubiquitous, and unobtrusive future services. In the concomitant, increasingly competitive market, retailers are starting to lay the foundation for omnichannel, meeting the expectations of a digitally cunning audience wanting their shopping experience to be as seamless and uncomplicated as possible. Nevertheless, recent researches show that there are still enough avenues for further research on omnichannel. Until now, the performance of companies was solely considered by experts from a suppliers’ point of view. It would be rather interesting to find out whether the desire to meet the increased cus-tomer expectations is also recognized by the customers themselves. This paper seeks to answering how the purchasing behavior has changed and what customers demand. In addition, it elaborates the opportunities that are promoted by omni-channel. Searching out all the effects, the paper will get to a final step, where it can be attested how the omnichannel performance of fashion and lifestyle retailers can be measured from a consumers’ perspective by developing an exclusive index. The study is confined to four fashion and lifestyle retailers: Hugo Boss AG, Levi Strauss & Co, Pull and Bear as well as COS. Using the scientific method of mystery shopping and a multi-item checklist including 54 key performance indicators, the paper aims to examine to which extend the four selected retailers provide a seamless customer journey, according to the five decision-making phases.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the value of the web representation of certain fashion hot spots and how these results can be shown on fashion maps in an illustrated way.
Design/methodology/approach: A new ranking was created, which was evaluated with a self-instructed index, to gain solid results. Numbers were collected from Google, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and web.alert.io. Additionally, fashion maps were created for an illustrative visualization of the results.
Findings: Compared with the ranking of a trend forecasting agency, called Global Language Monitor, which concepted a ranking of non-virtual fashion cities, the web representation and therefore the ranking of the research project, differs mainly in the situation of the cities among the first 10, viz. the rank on which a city occurs, but fewer in the actual cities mentioned.
Research limitations: The research was limited to subjective analysis of data, leading to partly subjective results, as well as the selected number of social media platforms, that had been used.
Originality/value: This is the first study to explore the web representation value of fashion metropolises in comparison to their non-virtual ranking. The results are partly based on results that already existed, concerning transformations of fashion cities or in general which cities own the status of a fashion city.
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the service of the new business model Curated Shopping in the fashion industry as well as to analyze if the service provides a higher costumer added value in comparison to traditional services in retail stores and e-commerce platforms. It gives implications to curated shop operators how to optimize the service in each stage of the customer buying process.
Design/methodology/approach: The research methodology applied is an empirical study that uses the principal of mystery shopping in order to investigate the provided services during the selling process.
Findings: The study showed that information about the customer should be collected carefully and as holistic as possible in order to assort a suitable outfit. The consumer is able to benefit from the service by saving time and enjoying a stress-free way of shopping. Nevertheless there are limitations in the personal service to give individual and inspiring advice by the curator caused by the physical distance to the customer.
Research limitations: The survey was conducted under 10 mystery shoppers and 4 curated shop operators in Germany, limiting findings to these mystery shoppers and operators.
Practical implications: One implication for the shop operators is to collect consumer information carefully and expand the assortment and brand portfolio in order to provide fashion goods to inspire the consumer. The shop operators are on the right track still there is huge potential to provide a more shopper-oriented service.
Anforderungen an die Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstelle im Automobil auf dem Weg zum autonomen Fahren
(2017)
In den letzten Jahrzehnten haben immer mehr Fahrerassistenzsysteme Einzug in das Automobil gefunden und bereiten damit den Weg zu vollautonomen Fahrzeugen der Zukunft vor. So bieten bereits viele Hersteller Ausstattungsvarianten ihrer Fahrzeuge an, die für den Umstieg in die vollautonome Zukunft gewappnet sind. Um den Menschen mit auf den Weg zu nehmen, werden einige Anforderungen an die Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstelle (MMS) des Automobils gestellt. Für die teilautonomen Fahrzeuge der nächsten Generation gilt es, den Fahrerwechsel zwischen manuellem und autonomen Fahren für die Menschen bestmöglich zu gestalten. Die Arbeit wirft einen Blick auf ausgewählte Ansätze für zukünftige MMS-Systeme und bewertet diese anhand der Übergabezeiten zwischen Mensch und Maschine. Ein Wandel der MMS im Automobil wird empfohlen, um den Menschen mit den neuen Technologien vertraut zu machen.
Integrierte Schaltkreise (IC) sind ein integraler Bestandteil vieler Geräte wie zum Beispiel Smartphones, Computer oder Fernseher. Auf den Schaltkreisen werden immer mehr Funktionen integriert. Um die Arbeit auch zukünftig in gegebener Zeit bewältigen zu können, bedarf es daher einer Möglichkeit für die gleichzeitige Zusammenarbeit der Entwickler. Unter dem Arbeitstitel eCEDA (eCollaboration for Electronic Design Automation) wird ein Konzept für eine Webanwendung entwickelt, die die Echtzeitkollaboration von Entwicklern im Chipentwurf ermöglichen soll. Dieses Konzept sowie verschiedene Aspekte der Kollaboration werden in dieser Arbeit behandelt.
Die meisten der aktuell im Allag vorfindlichen Touch-Flächen wurden unter Anwendung komplexer und kostenintensiver Technologien realisiert. Gerade für das Anwendungsszenario eines Touchfloors, bei welchem meist eine überdurchschnittlich große Touch-Fläche erwünscht ist, werden kostengünstigere Umsetzungsmöglichkeiten angestrebt. Dieses Paper dient als Ausgangsbasis für die Umsetzung eines Low-cost Touchfloors, der die kollaborative Arbeit eines Projektteams unterstützen soll. Mithilfe einer Analyse des State of the Arts der Touch-Technologien und einer anschließenden Evaluation, wird die Touch-Technologie abgeleitet, die sich am besten zur Realisierung dieses low-cost Touchfloors eignet. Aus der Evaluation geht hervor, dass vor allem optische Touch-Technologien, insbesondere visionsbasierte, für die Umsetzung von kostengünstigen großen Touch-Flächen geeignet sind.
