Early exposure makes the entrepreneur: how economics education in school influences entrepreneurship
(2022)
Many countries that seek to boost their economy share the goal of promoting entrepreneurship. Whereas there is ample research on the predictors of entrepreneurship during adulthood, we know little about how pre-adulthood experience influences entrepreneurship later in life. Using a natural experiment, this paper examines whether introducing economics classes in school enhances entrepreneurial behavior in adulthood. Our difference-in-differences approach exploits curricula reforms across German states that introduced compulsory economics education classes in secondary schools. Using information on school and labor market careers for more than 10,000 individuals from 1984 to 2019, we find that the reform increases students’ entrepreneurial activities by three percentage points. Examining gender differences, we find that economics classes equally benefit female and male students. Our results advance our understanding of how pre-adulthood experiences shape individuals’ entrepreneurial behavior.
Job advertisements are important means of communicating role expectations for management accountants to the labor market. They provide information about which roles of management accountants are sought by companies or which roles are expected. However, which roles are communicated in job advertisements is unknown so far. Using a large sample of 889 job ads and a text-mining approach, we show an apparent mix of different role types with a strong focus on a rather classic role: the watchdog role. However, individuals with business partner characteristics are more often sought for leadership positions or in family businesses and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The results challenge the current role discussion for management accountants as business partners in practice and some academic fields.
This research briefing describes the organizational capability of scaling at scale, which we define as enabling multiple digital innovation initiatives to realize bottom-line value from their innovation by leveraging shared resources. We illustrate this concept with a case study from global multi-energy company Repsol, which implemented scaling at scale to cultivate a portfolio of more than 450 initiatives and helped over seventy percent of initiatives to reach the scale-up stage. As a result, over five years Repsol realized €800 million of bottom-line value from digital innovations.
To generate greater value faster from digital innovation, many companies are increasing how much they learn from their own innovation efforts. However, in many companies, these changes are limited to one stakeholder group: innovation teams. Two other stakeholder groups, senior executives and experts from corporate functions, also need to learn from digital innovation initiatives. We have defined three learning imperatives that address a company’s needs to learn continually about building (1) a successful innovation, (2) a portfolio of initiatives that realizes strategic objectives faster, and (3) shared resources that propel multiple initiatives. All three imperatives involve collecting data regularly from digital innovation initiatives. In this research briefing we outline the three learning imperatives and provide examples of how companies are pursuing them to achieve strategic objectives more effectively and efficiently.

Will chatbots play a significant role for B2B marketingin the future? Chatbots in B2B businesses
(2022)
Digitalization has gained a foothold in our everyday lives. However, it remains to be seen what digital tools B2B companies can benefit from. During the last few years, chatbots have been on the rise and have played a more significant role in B2B marketing. Thus, this research follows a literature review to examine the current state of B2B chatbots. With this, the study will discover the buyer’s preferences for chatbots compared to sales agents and the role of chatbots in different stages of the B2B sales funnel.

Der vorliegende Beitrag schlägt auf Basis der Erfahrungen in der Augenheilkunde mit der SARS-CoV-2-Pandemie in den Jahren 2020 und 2021 einen Leitfaden für den Umgang mit (zukünftigen) Pandemien vor.
Die Kernpunkte:
• Das weltweite Epidemie-Geschehen sollte stets beobachtet werden.
• Deutet sich eine Pandemie an, sollte im ersten Schritt ein Krisenstab eingerichtet werden, der die Pandemielage bewertet und Maßnahmen koordinieren kann.
• Die zu ergreifenden Maßnahmen einer augenheilkundlichen Einrichtung betreffen vor allem die Sicherstellung der Versorgungssituation sowie organisatorische und wirtschaftliche Bereiche, um eine tragfähige Fortführung des Betriebs zu ermöglichen.
Ethik und Personalmanagement
(2022)
Das Personalmanagement beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie Mitarbeitende für Unternehmen gewonnen, dort entwickelt und motiviert werden können und wie die Arbeitsbedingungen gestaltet werden. In Theorie und Praxis des Personalmanagements werden differenzierte Teilaspekte betrachtet, wie beispielsweise Personalplanung, Personalmarketing, Beschaffung und Auswahl, Motivation und Vergütung.
Management und Führung sind Funktionen, die in Organisationen benötigt werden, um Aktivitäten und Prozesse zu koordinieren und um immer wieder Veränderungen umzusetzen. Der Beitrag stellt die Unterschiede zwischen Management und Führung dar und bettet diese in den Kontext aktueller Entwicklungen ein. Denn durch die Digitalisierung der Arbeitswelt, die Pandemie sowie die New Work-Bewegung verändert sich die Art und Weise, wie wir zusammenarbeiten. Entsprechend viel wird über Führung und Management diskutiert – auch in der Augenheilkunde. Ziel ist es, dass auf Basis der vorliegenden Überlegungen in den Einrichtungen der Augenheilkunde Management und Führung reflektiert und zielorientiert und zukunftsfähig gestaltet werden können.
