Die meisten Innovationsprojekte in Unternehmen scheitern nicht am Mangel an Ideen, Kreativität oder am Umsetzungswillen, sondern an vielen kleinen Hürden, die die Projekte massiv entschleunigen. So verlieren Initiativen an der Dynamik, die dafür sorgt, dass sich zügig Erfolge einstellen. Ein Bereich, in dem unkonventionell, agil und schnell Ergebnisse erzielt werden, ist das Guerilla Marketing. Was können Innovations-, Forschungs- und Projektleiter aus dem Methodenbaukasten lernen? Wie können konkrete Taktiken aus dem Marketing auch Innovationsprojekten zu mehr Viralität und Schwung verhelfen, um die Eigendynamik der Initiativen „unbremsbar“ zu machen? Das erfahren Sie in diesem essential.
Wertschätzung zählt
(2023)
Wie steht es mit den Sitten im B2B-Geschäft? Im Beitrag werden Wahrnehmung und Ursachen für den Sittenwandel im wirtschaftlichen Kontext in Deutschland und der Schweiz beleuchtet. Anhand einer Analyse der Werteforschung und Experteninterviews im B2B-Sales werden die Erscheinungsformen des Sittenwandels kritisch untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Wertschätzung, Respekt und Vertrauen im Vertriebsbereich zwar einen hohen Wert besitzen, aber oft missachtet werden.
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.
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.
This research-oriented book presents key contributions on architecting the digital transformation. It includes the following main sections covering 20 chapters: · Digital Transformation · Digital Business · Digital Architecture · Decision Support · Digital Applications Focusing on digital architectures for smart digital products and services, it is a valuable resource for researchers, doctoral students, postgraduates, graduates, undergraduates, academics and practitioners interested in digital transformation.
Companies compete more and more as integrated supply chains rather than as individual firms. The success of the entire supply chain determines the economic well-being of the individual company. With management attention shifting to supply chains, the role of management accounting naturally must extend to the cross-company layer as well. This book demonstrates how management accounting can make a significant contribution to supply chain success.It targets students who are already familiar with the fundamentals of accounting and now want to extend their expertise in the field of cross company (or network) management accounting. Practitioners will draw valuable insights from the text as well.
Automatic classification of rotating machinery defects using Machine Learning (ML) algorithms
(2020)
Electric machines and motors have been the subject of enormous development. New concepts in design and control allow expanding their applications in different fields. The vast amount of data have been collected almost in any domain of interest. They can be static; that is to say, they represent real-world processes at a fixed point of time. Vibration analysis and vibration monitoring, including how to detect and monitor anomalies in vibration data are widely used techniques for predictive maintenance in high-speed rotating machines. However, accurately identifying the presence of a bearing fault can be challenging in practice, especially when the failure is still at its incipient stage, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the monitored signal is small. The main objective of this work is to design a system that will analyze the vibration signals of a rotating machine, based on recorded data from sensors, in the time/frequency domain. As a consequence of such substantial interest, there has been a dramatic increase of interest in applying Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to this task. An ML system will be used to classify and detect abnormal behavior and recognize the different levels of machine operation modes. The proposed solution can be deployed as predictive maintenance for Industry 4.0.
Power line communications (PLC) reuse the existing power-grid infrastructure for the transmission of data signals. As power line the communication technology does not require a dedicated network setup, it can be used to connect a multitude of sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Those IoT devices could be deployed in homes, streets, or industrial environments for sensing and to control related applications. The key challenge faced by future IoT-oriented narrowband PLC networks is to provide a high quality of service (QoS). In fact, the power line channel has been traditionally considered too hostile. Combined with the fact that spectrum is a scarce resource and interference from other users, this requirement calls for means to increase spectral efficiency radically and to improve link reliability. However, the research activities carried out in the last decade have shown that it is a suitable technology for a large number of applications. Motivated by the relevant impact of PLC on IoT, this paper proposed a cooperative spectrum allocation in IoT-oriented narrowband PLC networks using an iterative water-filling algorithm.
Our paper gives first answers on a fundamental question: how can the design of architectures of intelligent digital systems and services be accomplished methodologically? Intelligent systems and services are the goals of many current digitalization efforts today and part of massive digital transformation efforts based on digital technologies. Digital systems and services are the foundation of digital platforms and ecosystems. Digtalization disrupts existing businesses, technologies, and economies and promotes the architecture of open environments. This has a strong impact on new value-added opportunities and the development of intelligent digital systems and services. Digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, services computing, cloud computing, big data with analytics, mobile systems, and social enterprise networks systems are important enablers of digitalization. The current publication presents our research on the architecture of intelligent digital ecosystems and products and services influenced by the service-dominant logic. We present original methodological extensions and a new reference model for digital architectures with an integral service and value perspective to model intelligent systems and services that effectively align digital strategies and architectures with artificial intelligence as main elements to support intelligent digitalization.
