Als Google vor einigen Jahren begann, seine riesigen Personaldatenbestände auszuwerten, um herauszufinden, welche Eigenschaften gute Führungskräfte ausmachen, betrat es Neuland. Die Ergebnisse legten nahe, die Daten auch für andere personalwirtschaftliche Fragen zu nutzen (vgl. Garvin).
Inzwischen beschäftigen sich nicht nur Technologie-unternehmen wie Google mit Verfahren, die unter dem Schlagwort People Analytics (auch HR Analytics oder Workforce Analytics) intensiv diskutiert und erforscht werden. Dabei werden die umfangreichen Bestände an mitarbeiterbezogenen Daten, die bei der Rekrutierung, bei Mitarbeiterumfragen oder Leistungsbeurteilungen anfallen, systematisch analysiert und für Prognosen genutzt (vgl. Marler/Boudreau, S. 15). Dem liegt die Annahme zugrunde, dass Personalentscheidungen verbessert werden, wenn sie nicht nur auf Intuition und Erfahrung beruhen, sondern zudem auf einem soliden Datenfundament.
Predictive maintenance information systems: the underlying conditions and technological aspects
(2020)
Predictive maintenance has the potential to improve the reliability of production and service provisioning. However, there is little knowledge about the proper implementation of predictive maintenance in research and practice. Therefore, we conducted a multi-case study and investigated underlying conditions and technological aspects for implementing a predictive maintenance system and where it leads to. We found that predictive maintenance initiatives are triggered by severe impacts of failures on revenue and profit. Furthermore, successful predictive maintenance initiatives require that pre-conditions are fulfilled: Data must be available and accessible. Very important is also the support by the management. We identified four factors important for the implementation of predictive maintenance. The integration of data is highly facilitated by Cloud-based mechanisms. The detection of events is enabled by advanced analytics. The execution of predictive maintenance operations is supported by data-driven process automation and visualization.
Operational Excellence
(2020)
Als operative Exzellenz oder Operational Excellence (OPEX) wird oft die Fähigkeit eines Unternehmens bezeichnet, "Strukturen, Prozesse und Verhaltensweisen entlang der Wertschöpfungskette so auszurichten, dass eine lernende und sich kontinuierlich verbessernde Organisation entsteht, deren Fokus auf einer hocheffizienten Umsetzung der Kundenanforderungen liegt" (ROI Management Consulting). Am Ende steht die ganzheitliche Verbesserung aller direkten und indirekten Funktionen im Wetschöpfungsprozess. Während Operational Excellence bei Produktionsprozessen bereits zu großen Effizienzgewinn geführt hat, gibt es in Bereichen wie Verwaltung und Logistik noch Nachholbedarf.
Fehler, Manipulation und Rationalität – wie das Reporting das Verhalten der Entscheider beeinflusst
(2020)
Der Zweck des Management Reporting besteht darin, den Informationsbedarf der Führungskräfte zu befriedigen. Sowohl Ersteller als auch Nutzer von Berichten handeln aber nur begrenzt rational. Berichte wirken deshalb nicht „zielgenau“, sondern lösen vielfältige nicht gewünschte Reaktionen bei den Beteiligten aus. In diesem Beitrag erfahren Sie, wie sich „der Faktor Mensch“ auf die Erstellung und Nutzung von Management Reports auswirkt und wie ein effektives und effizientes Management Reporting unerwünschte Wirkungen minimieren kann.
A holistic approach to digitization enables decision-makers to achieve new efficiency in corporate performance management. The digitalization improves the quality, validity and speed of information retrieval and processing. At present, most corporations are confronted with the problem of not being able to organize, categorize and visualize decision-relevant information. To meet the challenges of information management, the Management Cockpit provides an information center for managers. In accordance with the specific working environment of the executives, the Management Cockpit offers a quick and comprehensive overview of the company's situation. Today, the current situation of a company is no longer only influenced by internal factors, but also by its public image. Social media monitoring and analysis is therefore a crucial component for the external factors of successful management. Real-time monitoring of the emotions and behaviors of consumers and customers thus contributes to effective controlling of allbusiness areas. The intelligent factories promise to collect data for internal factors, but the current reality in manufacturing looks different. Production often consists of a large number of different machines, with varying degrees of digitization and limited sensor data availability. In order to close this gap, we developed a compact sensor board with network components, which allows a flexible design with different sensors for a wide variety of applications. The sensor data enable decision makers to adapt the supply chain based on their internal and external observations in the Management Cockpit. Due to the realtime and long-term monitoring and analytic possibilities the Management Cockpit provides a multi-dimensional view of the company and supports an holistic Corporate Performance Management.
This paper studies the impact of financial liquidity on the macro-economy. We extend a classic macroeconomic modeland compute numerical simulations. The model confirms that persistently low inflation can occur despite a high degreeof financial liquidity due to a reallocation of cash, normal and risk-free bonds. In that regard, our model uncovers anexplanation of a flat Phillips curve. Overall, our approach contributes to a rather disregarded matter in macroeconomictheory.
Businesses need to cope with myriad challenges including increasingly competitive markets and rapid developments in digital technology. The overall aim of the research described in this paper is to generate fresh insights into the impacts of digitalisation on the design and management of global supply chains. It focuses on understanding the current adoption rate of new technologies in global supply chains, identifying perceived opportunities and challenges and clarifying the critical factors driving (and inhibiting) their deployment. The authors administered an online survey with a global sample of respondents from various supply chain functions, resulting in a sample of 142 responses. Significant differences emerged in adoption patterns between companies of different sizes. Moreover, the study pointed to a widening gap (or a ‘digital divide’) between leaders and laggards in terms of technology adoption. Perceived benefits and challenges also differ notably between companies of varying sizes. Adoption patterns are very diverse across specific technologies. The results further suggest that there is a significant correlation between adoption of digital technologies and different dimensions of company performance.
This article studies the current debate on Coronabonds and the idea of European public debt in the aftermath of the Corona pandemic. According to the EU-Treaty economic and fiscal policy remains in the sovereignty of Member States. Therefore, joint European debt instruments are risky and trigger moral hazard and free-riding in the Eurozone. We exhibit that a mixture of the principle of liability and control impairs the present fiscal architecture and destabilizes the Eurozone. We recommend that Member States ought to utilize either the existing fiscal architecture available or establish a political union with full sovereignty in Europe. This policy conclusion is supported by the PSPP-judgement of the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany on 5 May 2020. This ruling initiated a lively debate about the future of the Eurozone and Europe in general.
Innovationskraft ist einer der wesentlichen Erfolgsfaktoren der Zukunft, welcher den Unterschied zwischen erfolgreichen und scheiternden Unternehmen in hohem Maße beeinflussen wird (PWC, 2015). Besonders junge Unternehmen und Start-ups sind für ihre hohe Innovationsfähigkeit bekannt. Etablierte Unternehmen hingegen punkten weniger mit neuen Ideen, aber dafür mit innovationskritischen Ressourcen, Routinen und Skaleneffekten. Ein stetig an Popularität gewinnender Ansatz, die Fähigkeiten und Ressourcen von etablierten Unternehmen mit der Innovationskraft von Start-ups zu verknüpfen, stellt das "Intrapreneurship" dar.
