The use of gamification in workplace learning to encourage employee motivation and engagement
(2019)
When we think about playing a game, be it a card game, board game, sport, or video game, we generally associate the act of playing with a positive experience like having fun, enjoying the interaction with others, or feeling a greater motivation to reach a certain goal. By contrast, workplace learning is often perceived as being dull. Employees are likely at some point in their career to find themselves stuck in a rigidly defined seminar for a long period of time or in front of their computer navigating through a mandatory e-learning course on a dry topic such as standards of business conduct of safety policies.
In recent years, organizations have tried to leverage the motivating quality of games for more serious learning contexts. Gamification entails transferring those elements and principles from games to nongaming context that improve user experience and engagement. In this chapter, we will specifically focus on the context of workplace learning.
CODE RED FOR HUMANITY. The alarm bells are deafening, and the evidence is irrefutable: greenhouse-gas emissions from fossil-fuel burning and deforestation are choking our planet and putting billions of people at immediate risk. Global heating is affecting every region on Earth, with many of the changes becoming irreversible. (Guterres 2021)
The digitalisation ongoing in households and sustainability-related challenges are multifaceted and complex. The introducing quote of the United Nations Secretary-General refers to the latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), emphasising the urgency to act – now. As of today, becoming a sustainable population is still a distant destination. As outlined in the previous chapters, the challenges associated with that transformation remain huge, complex, and largely unsolved. Recent dramas such as the power incident in Texas (2021), the floods in Germany (2021), or the drought in sub-Saharan Africa (2020s) – are just a few of the uncountable issues stirring up the debate about fossil-fuel abandonment and the timing of climate neutrality. Business research can actually be accused of referring to the persistent focus on gains and growth, despite early warnings for society at large (e.g., Meadows et al., 1972; Kölsch & Veit, 1981; Veit & Thatcher, 2023). However, academic researchers, corporations, and society are now waking up, as shown by the climate change conference. In fact, it appears that the information systems (IS) discipline just began tackling mammoth challenges around climate change within the last decade (Melville, 2010; Watson et al., 2010). The central discussion in emerging work revolves around the role and use of digital technologies on the path to a healthy planet. But while early studies have focused on organisational settings (e.g., Gholami et al., 2016; Seidel et al., 2013), increasingly research addresses private settings (e.g., Wunderlich et al., 2019).
The management of football brands : brand identity management illustrated by Borussia Dortmund
(2017)
Despite a growing awareness of the importance of the management of trademarks at the club level, there is a significant delay regarding the professional management of the brand within the Bundesliga clubs. So far, the principles of brand identity management were rarely applied, and most clubs have given up, despite a high economic potential, the ability to create competitive advances in economic terms, but also in sports terms. In this chapter, we will study the success factors of the management of brand identity of professional football clubs from the actual case of Borussia Dortmund.
The Football World Cup 2014
(2017)
International sporting events such as the Football World Cup constitute the ideal platform for companies to implement their target-group-specific marketing communications. Therefore, sporting event organisers sell exclusive marketing rights for their events to official sponsors. In return, these sponsors acquire exclusive opportunities to utilise the event for their own marketing purposes.
Ambush marketing is the method used by companies that do not actually hold marketing rights to an event, but still use marketing activities in diverse ways to establish a connection to it. The philosophy of ambush marketing consists of achieving conventional marketing objectives using unconventional methods. However, it creates the risk of fines or punishment, since companies that use these strategies even though they do not have sponsorship rights are violating legal requirements.
This case study introduces and analyses the marketing communications tools of sports sponsorship and ambush marketing.
Unternehmen arbeiten in Netzwerken mit vielfältigen Lieferanten- und Kundenbeziehungen und an unterschiedlichen Stellen der Wertschöpfungsketten. Dem Supply-Chain-Controlling kommt daher eine sehr hohe Bedeutung im Unternehmen zu. Es unterstützt das Management bei der Gestaltung und Steuerung unternehmensübergreifender Material-, Informations- und Geldflüsse. Dabei soll es die Effizienz und die Effektivität des unternehmerischen Handelns bzw. Entscheidens gewährleisten.
Nachdem Unternehmen Klarheit über das Kundenverhalten und die damit zusammenhängenden Determinanten haben, gilt es, in einem zweiten Schritt eine Strategie auszuarbeiten, die die bestmögliche Befriedigung der Kundenbedürfnisse in den Mittelpunkt des Handelns setzt. Je besser dieses den Unternehmen gelingt, umso besser lassen sich damit deren eigene Ziele verwirklichen. Dabei gilt es zunächst, einen Marketingplan zu entwickeln.

Sportmarketing in Europa
(2013)
Sie Zukunft des Sportmarketing ist International. In diesem Kapitel wird der Bogen vom nationalen zum internationalen Sportmarketing gespannt und exemplarisch das Sportmarketing in Europa in seinen unterschiedlichen Facetten präsentiert. Es werden die wichtigsten Sportarten, die bedeutendsten Liegen, die bekanntesten Clubs, die populärsten Athleten sowie die größten Sportveranstaltungen in Europa vorgestellt und dabei auf sportmarketing-relevante Aspekte eingegangen. Die internationale Bedeutung des Sports wird veranschaulicht und die Motive für die Internationalisierung im Sportmarketing beschrieben. Darüber hinaus werden die europäischen Sportkonsumenten beleuchtet, der Sportmarketing-Markt in Europa charakterisiert und der aktuelle wissenschaftliche Stand zum Sportmarketing erläutert. Das Kapital beinhaltet zudem eine internationale Fallstudie zum Markteintritt der NFL in Europa.
In den modernen Bachelor- und Master-Studiengängen wird insbesondere Wert auf den Transfer der theoretischen Erkenntnisse auf die praktische Anwendung gelegt. Der Titel "Fallstudien zum Marketing" kommt dieser Anforderung nach; tatsächlich sind gegenwärtig kaum realistische Fallstudien zu Marketingthemen vorzufinden. Die Fallstudien decken dabei die komplette Bandbreite des Marketing ab und entstammen der realen Marketingpraxis. Sie enthalten exakte Situationsbeschreibungen und die sich daraus ergebenden Entscheidungsprobleme, bieten aussagefähige Lösungshinweise und stellen zudem die tatsächlich in der Unternehmenspraxis gewählte Entscheidung des jeweiligen Unternehmens dar.
In diesem abschließenden Kapitel erfolgt zunächst eine zusammenfassende Diskussion der verschiedenen Teile des vorliegenden Bandes und der einzelnen Kapitel. Dabei wird auf die Hauptaussage der jeweiligen Kapitel eingegangen sowie ein Fazit zu jedem Teil gezogen. Daran anknüpfend setzen sich die Herausgeber des Bandes mit der Zukunft des Sportbusiness im Allgemeinen und der Zukunft des Sportmarketing im Besonderen auseinander und ziehen ein abschließendes Gesamtfazit.
