Verlängerte Werkbank, Global Sourcing, Low-Cost-Country-Potenziale, Outsourcing: Seit Jahren herrscht eine inflationäre Verwendung dieser Schlagworte in den Vorstandsetagen. Der Markt für professionelle Dienstleistungen ist schon lange nicht mehr auf die Strategieberatungsbranche beschränkt. Mittlerweile gibt es fast keinen Unternehmensprozess in einem produzierenden Unternehmen mehr, der nicht hinsichtlich seiner Auslagerbarkeit an Berater oder Dienstleister geprüft wurde. Die Autorin beschreibt, warum professionelle Dienstleister zunehmend beauftragt werden und zeigt am Beispiel einer Service-Performance-Studie die Erfolgsfaktoren für die Zusammenarbeit auf. Anhand einer Collaboration Check List legt sie dar, was im täglichen Doing wichtig ist. Abschließend werden die Risiken und Chancen der Inanspruchnahme von Dienstleistungen aus Kunden- und Lieferantenperspektive beleuchtet.
In dieser Arbeit wird ein Modell vorgestellt, das die Planung der direkten Wiederverwendung bei der Vermietung mobiler und langlebiger Investitionsgüter in Closed-Loop Supply Chains optimiert. Insbesondere die Entwicklung von Planungsalgorithmen zur Verbesserung der Vorhersagewahrscheinlichkeit zukünftiger Rücklieferungen und deren betriebswirtschaftliche Auswirkungen für Unternehmen stehen im Vordergrund. Das Optimierungsmodell betrachtet dabei sowohl die Positionierung des Unternehmens im Innen- als auch im Außenverhältnis und liefert die Entscheidungsgrundlage für entsprechende strategische Initiativen.
Um einen reibungslosen Produktionsablauf zu gewährleisten und Produktionsstillstände zu vermeiden, ist eine kontinuierliche Materialverfügbarkeit erforderlich. Bei der Auswahl von Materialbereitstellungsprinzipien gilt es, unternehmensspezifische Gegebenheiten zu berücksichtigen. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt am Beispiel der ERBE Elektromedizin GmbH, Tübingen, ein mögliches Vorgehen.
This article studies the development of e-governance over time and across countries. We use a large data sample consisting of 99 developing and 34 OECD countries to study this notion. Firstly, we study the development of e-governance. Secondly, we estimate models to check the determining factors of e-governance over time and across countries. The study reveals that the level of e-governance is determined by the degree of e-participation, online access as well as GDP per capita.
Dieser Beitrag leistet einen Beitrag zur Marketingforschung, da er den jungen aber von zunehmender Relevanz geprägten Forschungsstrang zum Themenkomplex CEM grundlegend entwickelt. Zum einen zeigt das identifizierte Rahmenkonzept auf, dass CEM über einzelne unternehmerische Fähigkeiten wie dem Design von Serviceerlebnissen, das die bisherige CEM-Forschung bestimmt hat, hinausgeht. Zum anderen leistet das Konzept einen Beitrag zur Synthese fragmentierter, aber miteinander zusammenhängender Literaturströmungen in der Marketingforschung ...
This article highlights three major outcomes from global employability surveys about the topic of gender diversity. Students and graduates of two master programs at ESB Business School of Reutlingen University in Germany were asked about their study programs, their expected and their realized career paths, and their individual well-being. This article highlights selected gender differences that were discovered in the analysis and underlines results on specific gender issues. The three major outcomes are: firstly, men and women work in different industries, functions, and leadership positions; secondly, there is a potential for unfulfilled expectations of young managers regarding their achievement of certain positions and the realization of their private goals; thirdly, by looking at the graduates’ career paths in combination with their well-being, a low level of satisfaction with work-life balance and high levels of stress could be identified. The results give valuable insights into the conceptual world of students at the beginning of their career and as future managers. Looking at gender differences and gender issues leads to interesting findings which can be used for further research and discussions at ESB Business School. By contrasting the outcomes of the alumni survey with outcomes of the student survey, significant differences between the awareness of students and the reality of the graduates concerning gender diversity issues were discovered. The disclosed gap between students’ expectations and the real-life situations of the alumni indicates further areas for discussion. One major question is how students can cope with these challenges and issues of gender diversity management in future management positions as (female) managers while taking corporate social responsibility into consideration.
Systemic Constellation describes an approach that enables practitioners to examine and address typical issues in diversity management from a different, relational perspective. Systemic Constellation utilizes the human ability to recognize the qualities of relationships between two or more people from their spatial alignment to each other (transverbal language) and the capability to illustrate inner pictures by placing humans or objects in a room as representatives (representative perception). Systemic Constellation originated in the field of family therapy and counseling, but through research, guidance work, and teaching activities over the last two decades, it has developed into a generic, structural, constellation logic with multiple methods of application. It has been adapted to a variety of topics and issues, and a number of constellation formats. This article serves as a starting point for the transfer of Systemic Constellation into diversity management. It appears that conventional approaches taught in traditional management classes (such as focusing on tools, setting targets, planning measures, and offering incentives) are of limited use when trying to deal with problematic situations in diversity management. Preliminary trials show that new solutions and insights into deeper underlying dynamics can be gained on personal and institutional levels when applying Systemic Constellation. Participants find the application of the model as very beneficial. Systemic Constellation is grounded in personal experience and particularly in a person’s own experience of the consistency of representative perception. This viewpoint can only be conveyed rudimentarily in a scientific article. Readers should feel encouraged to apply Systemic Constellations themselves and use it in their work, experimentally and professionally. To harness the full potential of Systemic Constellations in diversity management, further research needs to be done.
In 2016, German car manufacturer the Audi Group (AUDI AG) was working on an expanding array of digital innovations. The goals of these innovations varied, and included strengthening customer- and employee-facing processes, digitally enhancing existing products, and developing new, potentially disruptive business models. Audi's IT unit was critical to each of these efforts. This case examines the different ways in which digitization can help to enhance and transform an organization's processes, products, and business models. The case also highlights the challenges that may arise as organizations attempt to expand and diversify their portfolio of digital innovations.
