Contemporary public enterprises differ from their forebears. Today, they are more similar to private enterprises, receiving far more attention than previously, when privatization processes all over the world were in the spotlight. Furthermore, the broad research stream of entrepreneurship has so far neglected the consideration of public enterprises. To set a future research agenda, the author examines the dispersed literature using an integrative and organizing framework to identify major topics and research findings. This paper reviews articles that investigate the entrepreneurship in contemporary public enterprises. Despite the growing scholarly interest globally, this systematic literature review indicates there is no more than a loose connection between the literature streams of public entrepreneurship and corporate entrepreneurship. Specifically, the review shows that the multidimensional concept of entrepreneurial orientation has thus far been ignored, although autonomy plays a significant role in the literature review, namely in the context of the interference of the public owner. It also reveals other essential research gaps, such as the development of a modern theory of public enterprises. The linked research stream of public-sector corporate entrepreneurship offers a broad area of scholarly research and should encourage further investigation.
Defining the antecedents of experience co-creation as applied to alternative consumption models
(2019)
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a conceptual framework of experience co-creation that captures the multi-dimensionality of this construct, as well as a research process for defining of the antecedents of experience co-creation.
Design/methodology/approach – The framework of experience co-creation was conceptualized by means of a literature review. Subsequently, this framework was used as the conceptual basis for a qualitative content analysis of 66 empirical papers investigating alternative consumption models (ACMs), such as renting, remanufacturing, and second-hand models.
Findings – The qualitative content analysis resulted in 12 categories related to the consumer and 9 related to the ACM offerings that represent the antecedents of experience co-creation. These categories provide evidence that, to a large extent, the developed conceptual framework allows one to capture the multi-dimensionality of the experience co-creation construct.
Research limitations/implications – This study underscores the understanding of experience co-creation as a function of the characteristics of the offering – which are, in turn, a function of the consumers’ motives as determined by their lifeworlds – as well as to service design as an iterative approach to finding, creating and refining service offerings.
Practical implications – The investigation of the antecedents of experience co-creation can enable service providers to determine significant consumer market conditions for forecasting the suitability and viability of their offerings and to adjust their service designs accordingly.
Originality/value – This paper provides a step toward the operationalization of the dimension-related experience co creation construct and presents an approach to defining the antecedents of experience co-creation by considering different research perspectives that can enhance service design research.
Background. The application of lean management is standard in many companies all over the world. It is used to continuously optimise existing production processes and to reduce the complexity of administrative processes. Unfortunately, in higher education, the awareness of lean management as a highly effective methodology is quite low.
Research aims. The research aim is to show how the lean strategy can be applied in university environments. Finally, this paper addresses the question why it is so difficult to implement lean in a university environment and how an institution of higher education can move forward towards becoming a lean university.
Methodology. Based on a literature review, five key lean principles are presented and examples of their implementation are discussed using short case studies from our own institution. We also compare our findings with those in the literature.
Key findings. Lean offers the chance to improve the management of higher education institutions. This requires a commitment on the part of the university top management aiming at convincing all stakeholders that a culture of lean helps the institution to be able to adapt to the rapidly changing environment of higher education.
In der Vergangenheit ist der Materialfluss meist mit der Produktion gewachsen. Mit steigender Produkt-Individualität erhöht sich die Anzahl der zu fertigenden Varianten in der Produktion und somit die Komplexität der Materialflüsse. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden Möglichkeiten und Methoden zur Aufnahme und Optimierung von Materialflüssen im Zusammenhang mit hoher Variantenvielfalt untersucht.
This paper addresses what we call the investment question: under what plausible circumstances, if any, can variable renewable energy (VRE, and solar photovoltaic (PV) in particular) be a good investment? Although VRE has been growing rapidly world-wide, it is generally subsidized. Under what cost and market conditions can solar PV flourish without subsidy? We employ solar insolation and market price data from the U.S. and from Germany to gain insight into the investment question. We find that unsubsidized solar PV is or may soon be a justifiable investment, but that market arrangements may play a crucial role in determining success. We end by sketching a proposal that amounts to a reformed capacity market that would afford participation of solar PV.
A shift in attitudes to purchasing departments can be perceived. No longer is the chief goal solely to reduce costs; the procurement function is assuming strategic relevance in the business model, leveraging the supplier as a foundation for innovation. The knowledge accumulated by suppliers is accessed over the journey of long-term partnerships to streamline business practice. Businesses are finding themselves in increasingly competitive environments, and thus need to address inefficiencies in supplier management. “Procurement 4.0” is a concept used in discussing digitalisation in business processes, referring to the process of supplier relationship management and optimisation. This model and its application to supplier relationship management will be the focus of this article. Realising the efficiencies to be obtained in buyer-supplier relationships through “Procurement 4.0” will be explored, primarily through an emphasis on digitalisation of the relationship between the procurement department and supplier.
Um sich den neuen Herausforderungen zu stellen und eine wettbewerbsstarke Position im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung zu schaffen, wird vermehr in Digitalisierungsvorhaben investiert und digitale Geschäftsmodelle werden entwickelt. Was brauch ein mittelständisches Unternehemen, um sich erfolgreich in das digitale Zeitalter aufzumachen?
Sowohl die Zahl als auch die Relevanz gemeinnütziger Vereine in und für Deutschland ist immens. Gleichwohl erstaunt, dass die Rechnungslegung gemeinnütziger Vereine nur rudimentär geregelt ist und in der Forschungspraxis bisher eher wenig beleuchtet wird. Vor allem für die oftmals nur ehrenamtlich tätigen Vereinsvorstände stellt dies eine Herausforderung dar. Der vorliegende Beitrag schafft einen Überblick über die aktuelle Situtation der Vereinsrechnungslegung in Deutschland und erhebt im Rahmen einer empirischen Untersuchung die aktuellen Herausforderungen. Aus den Ergebnissen lassen sich wichtige Implikationen für die rechnungslegenden Vereine, die Adressaten dieser Rechnungslegung, den Gesetzgeber und die Prüfer der Berichte ableiten.
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face tension between economic growth and environmental impact. Tourism fuels growth, but the resulting solid waste and other pollutants threaten the SIDS’ natural beauty, quality of life for residents, attractiveness to tourists, and economic success. We assess the tension between tourism-driven economic growth and environmental degradation from a limits-to-growth perspective, developing a generic system dynamics model of the problem using 38 years of data from the Maldives to estimate parameters and Monte-Carlo methods to assess the sensitivity of results to uncertainty. We contrast development paths for the next three decades under three sets of policies focusing on promoting growth, managing tourism demand–supply balance, and improving waste management. Findings are counterintuitive; policies focused on better waste management alone are self defeating, because they increase tourism, growth and waste generation, undermining attractiveness and growth later. Policies that limit tourism demand improve economic and environmental health.
Haushaltslöcher und Steuerentlastungen – Was ist zu tun? - 3. Auflage. - (PositionLiberal ; 99)
(2012)
Die Lage der öffentlichen Haushalte ist aufgrund der Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise seit geraumer Zeit angespannt. Bereits während des Bundestagswahlkampfs sowie nach dem Wahlsieg der christlich-liberalen Koalition im Jahr 2009 gab es eine hitzige Debatte über die Vereinbarkeit von Steuersenkungen und nachhaltigen öffentlichen Finanzen. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird die Frage der Finanzierbarkeit von Steuererleichterungen durch zukünftiges Wirtschaftswachstum diskutiert. Auf Basis aktueller Daten und modelltheoretischer Simulationsberechnungen wird ein wirtschaftspolitisch gangbarer Weg zur Umsetzung des Koalitionsvertrages aufgezeigt.
