The halo effect in sports
(2018)
A halo effect can lead to significantly biased and distorted judgments in numerous situations and settings in daily life. However, its impact has barely been researched in the sporting environment, although it might help a great deal in understanding how sport fans think and behave. This paper provides an international literature review on the halo effect in different research fields. Built upon this state of the art, an empirical study based on two German soccer clubs, VfB Stuttgart and FC Bayern Munich, analyzes the presence of halo effects explained by social identity theory. The study shows that supporters rate aspects of the respective team, for example the president’s competency, more favorable than common sport spectators, and this effect even increases with a higher level of team identification.
Die neuen Geldgeber der FIFA
(2018)
Das Image des Fußball-Weltverbands bei westlichen Unternehmen befindet sich schon seit längerem im Sinkflug. Doch umgekehrt ist die FIFA bei der Auswahl ihrer Geldgeber nicht wählerisch. Solange genug Cash fließt, sind auch autokratisch regierte Länder gern gesehene Partner des Fußball-Weltverbands.
Lessons from sports : what corporate managers can learn from international professional sports
(2018)
Although sports is generally defined as motor activity, it has always been much more than that. Since management and sports follow the same objective of achieving highest performance, correlations between these two fields nowadays become increasingly interesting in terms of corporate strategy. This paper aims to point out how organisations as well as individuals can benefit from the general and psychological values and strategies of international professional sports, by first looking at the general framework of professional sports and further applying approaches from various types of sports directly to certain business functions like general management, human resource management and marketing management.
Die hohen Schulden in einigen Staaten der Europäischen Wirtschafts- und Währungsunion lassen nach wie vor staatliche Insolvenzen befürchten. Um die bereits entstandenen Probleme zu bewältigen, aber auch damit eine solche Situation künftig gar nicht erst eintritt, ist eine staatliche Insolvenzordnung erforderlich.
Milk-run systems are becoming more and more popular when it comes to in-plant material supply. Planning and dimensioning such a system poses challenges, which are difficult to overcome, especially in scenarios characterized by a large number of hard constraints and by well-established processes. This paper is set to ease the task of the planner by presenting an innovative flexible method for the planning and dimensioning of in-plant milk-run systems in high constrained scenarios. After an overview on tugger train systems and existing planning methods, an extensive description of the new method will be given. The new method proposed will be critically analyzed and discussed before suggesting forthcoming research.
This article investigates the fundamental value of digital platforms, such as Facebook and Google. Despite the transformative nature of digital technologies, it is challenging to value digital services, given that the usage is free of charge. Applying the methodology of discrete choice experiments, we estimated the value of digital free goods. For the first time in the literature, we obtained data for the willingness-to-pay and willingness-to-accept, together with socio-economic variables. The customer´s valuation of free digital services is on average, for Google, 121 € per week and Facebook, 28 €.
The paper studies the reform package proposed by the European Commission on 6 December 2017. First, institutional and economic implications of the reform proposal are analysed. The paper finds that some proposals are beyond the present treaty provisions. For instance, the proposal of a fiscal capacity does not tackle the economic root causes without a supranational transfer mechanism. In fact, the proposed budget neutrality over the medium-term is unfeasible due to cross country heterogeneity in the Eurozone. At the end, the paper develops policy conclusions.
Sport-Events emotionalisieren das Publikum. Einstellungsänderungen bzw. Imageverbesserungen stellen deshalb zentrale Zielsetzungen im Sport-Event-Marketing dar. Dies rührt insbesondere daher, dass eine hohe Korrelation zwischen der Einstellung bzw.dem Image einer Marke oder eines Unternehmens und dem tatsächlichen Kaufverhalten der Konsumenten angenommen wird. Im Folgenden wird ein spezifisches Imagetransfermodell für das Sport-Event-Marketing entwickelt und die Bedingungen für das Zustandekommen eines Imagetransfers von einem Sport-Event auf eine Marke bzw. ein Unternehmen erläutert. Je nachdem, ob die notwendige und/oder hinreichende Bedingung erfüllt ist, lassen sich verschiedene Konsequenzen bzw. Implikationen für die Unternehmenspraxis unterscheiden.
Wissenschaftliche Theorien sind häufig vielversprechend, lassen sich in der unternehmerischen Praxis aber selten direkt einsetzen. Daher schlagen wir eine pragmatische Managementmethode vor, mit deren Hilfe Theorien auf den eigenen Organisationskontext angepasst werden können. Basierend auf einer Experimentallogik, können Organisationen Theorien als Ausgangspunkt nutzen, um lokales Wissen zu generieren und so zu besseren Entscheidungen zu kommen.
Latest advancements in new technologies have made it possible to fully automate the in-plant material flow of small load carriers between the warehouse and the production or assembly line. However, none of methods available in literature fully addresses the planning and dimensioning problem of a logistic system based on these new autonomous technologies. This paper is set to present a method to estimate the fleet size of the new logistic system. After an overview on the state of the art, the method based on combinatorics and probability theory will be explained. A short discussion and suggestions for forthcoming research will conclude the paper.
