Due to digitalization, constant technological progress and ever shorter product life cycles, enterprises are currently facing major challenges. In order to succeed in the market, business models have to be adapted more often and more quickly to changing market conditions than they used to be. Fast adaptability, also called agility, is a decisive competitive factor in today’s world. Because of the ever-growing IT part of products and the fact that they are manufactured using IT, changing the business model has a major impact on the enterprise architecture (EA). However, developing EAs is a very complex task, because many stakeholders with conflicting interests are involved in the decision-making process. Therefore, a lot of collaboration is required. To support organizations in developing their EA, this article introduces a novel integrative method that systematically integrates stakeholder interests into decision-making activities. By using the method, collaboration between stakeholders involved is improved by identifying points of contact between them. Furthermore, standardized activities make decision-making more transparent and comparable without limiting creativity.
Enterprises are currently transforming their strategy, processes, and their information systems to extend their degree of digitalization. The potential of the Internet and related digital technologies, like Internet of Things, services computing, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data with analytics, mobile systems, collaboration networks, and cyber physical systems both drives and enables new business designs. Digitalization deeply disrupts existing businesses, technologies and economies and fosters the architecture of digital environments with many rather small and distributed structures. This has a strong impact for new value producing opportunities and architecting digital services and products guiding their design through exploiting a Service-Dominant Logic. The main result of the book chapter extends methods for integral digital strategies with value-oriented models for digital products and services which are defined in the framework of a multi-perspective digital enterprise architecture reference model.
This chapter presents an introduction to the emerging trends for architecting the digital transformation having a strong focus on digital products, intelligent services, and related systems together with methods, models and architectures. The primary aim of this book is to highlight some of the most recent research results in the field. We are providing a focused set of brief descriptions of the chapters included in the book.
The troubles began when Tom, the business analyst, asked the customer what he wants. The customer came up with good ideas for software features. Tom created a brilliant roadmap and defined the requirements for a new software product. Mary, the development team leader, was already eager to start developing and happy when she got the requirements. She and her team went ahead and created the software right away. Afterwards, Paul tested the software against the requirements. As soon as the software fulfilled the requirements, Linda, the product manager, deployed it to the customer. The customer did not like the software and ignored it. Ringo, the head of software development, was fired. How come? Nowadays, we have tremendous capabilities for creating nearly all kinds of software to fulfill the needs of customers. We can apply agile practices for reacting flexibly to changing requirements, we can use distributed development, open source, or other means for creating software at low cost, we can use cloud technologies for deploying software rapidly, and we can get enormous amounts of data showing us how customers actually use software products. However, the sad reality is that around 90% of products fail, and more than 60% of the features of a typical software product are rarely or never used. But there is a silver lining – an insight regarding successful features: Around 60% of the successes stem from a significant change of an initial idea. This gives us a hint on how to build the right software for users and customers.
Health monitoring in a home environment can have broader use since it may provide continuous control of health parameters with relatively minor intrusiveness into regular life. This work aims to verify if it is possible to replace the typical in some sleep medicine areas subjective questioning by an objective measurement using electronic devices. For this purpose, a study was conducted with ten subjects, in which objective and subjective measurement of relevant sleep parameters took place. The results of both measurement methods were evaluated and analyzed. The results showed that while for some measures, such as Total Time in Bed, there is a high agreement between objective and subjective measurements, for others, such as sleep quality, there are significant differences. For this reason, currently, a combination of both measurement methods may be beneficial and provide the most detailed results, while a partial replacement can already reduce the number of questions at the subjective measurement by measurement through electronic devices.
- Die zunehmende Digitalisierung stellt sowohl Unternehmen als auch deren Mitarbeiter vor viele neue Herausforderungen und bietet zugleich ein hohes Chancenpotenzial.
- Die Chance, das mit der Digitalisierung verbundene Potenzial zu heben, ist abhängig von der Konsequenz der Umsetzung der Digitalisierung.
- Voraussetzung für eine erfolgreiche Umsetzung ist eine Digitalisierungsstrategie, die den Weg und die Ziele für alle Beteiligten transparent, nachvollziehbar und erstrebenswert macht.
- Eine gelebte und von allen mitgetragene Digitalisierungsstrategie impliziert eine Kulturveränderung im Unternehmen.
Unternehmen benötigen heutzutage im globalen Wettbewerb ein effektives und effizientes Leistungsmanagement, um ihren Erfolg langfristig absichern zu können. Ein solches ganzheitliches und langfristiges Performance Managment kann nur dann die Erwartungen erfüllen, wenn alle erfolgskritischen Management-Disziplinen im Rahmen eines integrativen Managementsystems optimal aufeinander abgestimmt sind.
Der Beitrag zeigt, welche grundlegenden Managementmethoden und -instrumente sich identifizieren lassen, um den Unterschied zwischen dauerhaft erfolgreichen und nicht erfolgreichen Unternehmen zu erklären. In diesem Kontext wird ein Ansatz für einen Leistungsmanagement-Gesamtprozess entwickelt, in dem die zentralen Problemquellen bei der Einführung von Performance Management eingeordnet und erläutert werden.
Die digitale Transformation ist der Auslöser dafür, bestehende Produktionsparadigmen in Frage zu stellen bzw. weiterzuentwickeln. Sie bietet produzierenden Unternehmen die Chance, ihre Wertschöpfung grundlegend zu optimieren und neue Geschäftspotenziale zu erschließen.
Im Rahmen von Industrie 4.0 werden die aktuellen Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien mit der Produktions- und Automatisierungstechnik kombiniert und eine neue Stufe der Organisation und Steuerung der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette über den kompletten Lebenszyklus von Produktien und Services angestrebt. Ziel ist die signifikante Flexibilisierung und Verbesserung der Wertschöpfung sowie eine Individualisierung der Produkte und Services durch eine intensive Kunden-Unternehmens-Interaktion und Vernetzung.

Internet of Things (IoT) provides a strong platform for computer users to connect objects, devices, and people to the Internet for exchanging or sharing of information with each other. IoT is growing rapidly and is expected to adapt to disciplines such as manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, and robotics. Furthermore, the new concept of IoT is proposed and shown, especially for robotics areas as Internet of Robotics Things (IoRT). IoRT is a mixed structure of diverse technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. However, to promote and realize IoRT, digitization and digital transformation should be proceeded and implemented in the robotics enterprise. In this paper, we propose and architecture framework for IoRT-based digital platforms an verify it using a planned case in a global robotics enterprise. The associated challenges and future research directions in this field are also presented.
Der Beitrag stellt ein zentrales Denkraster für die Konzeption eines ganzheitlichen und langfristigen Performance-Management vor. Darin werden fünf gleichberechtigte Teildisziplinen erläutert, die, in ihrer Ausprägung und Kombination, die Themen- und Gestaltungskomplexität eines Leistungsmanagements aufzeigen. Ziel ist es, durch eine leicht verständliche Systematik das komplexe Thema Performance-Management und seine Zusammenhänge begreifbar und kommunizierbar zu machen, ohne dabei ein allgemeingültiges Rezept zu liefern.
The digital transformation is today’s dominant business transformation having a strong influence on how digital services and products are designed in a service-dominant way. A popular underlying theory of value creation and economic exchange that is known as the service-dominant (S-D) logic can be connected to many successful digital business models. However, S-D logic by itself is abstract. Companies cannot directly use it as an instrument for business model innovation and design in an easy way. To address this a comprehensive ideation method based on S-D logic is proposed, called service-dominant design (SDD). SDD is aimed at supporting firms in the transition to a service- and value-oriented perspective. The method provides a simplified way to structure the ideation process based on four model components. Each component consists of practical implications, auxiliary questions and visualization techniques that were derived from a literature review, a use case evaluation of digital mobility and a focus group discussion. SDD represents a first step of having a toolset that can support established companies in the process of service- and value-orientation as part of their digital transformation efforts.
