In this paper, the essential sponsorship basics are presented and the communication instrument of sports sponsorship is illustrated. Building on this, both the perspectives of sponsors and sponsees are examined in detail. In addition, the special features of sports event sponsorships are highlighted. Finally, current developments in sports sponsorship in the context of the FIFA Soccer World Cup 2022 in Qatar and the UEFA European Soccer Championship 2024 in Germany are compared and discussed.
This paper explores the application of People Analytics in
recruiting professors for universities of applied sciences. Using data-driven personas, the research project aims to identify and communicate the different paths and connections leading candidates to a professorship. The authors introduce the concept of personas, describe the underlying data source and derive an example for the current project.
Purpose
As a response to the increased frequency of disruptive events and intense competition, organizational agility has become a key concept in organizational research. Fostering organizational agility requires leveraging knowledge that exists both outside (exploration) and inside (exploitation) the organization. This research tests the so-called ambidexterity hypothesis, which claims that a balance between exploration and exploitation leads to increased organizational outcomes, including the development of organizational agility. Complementing previously established measurement models on ambidexterity, this research proposes an alternative measurement model to analyze how ambidexterity can enhance organizational agility and, indirectly, performance, taking into consideration the moderating effect of environmental competitiveness.
Design/methodology/approach
A review of existing measurement models for ambidexterity shows that tension, a crucial aspect of ambidexterity, is often neglected. The authors, therefore, develop a new measurement model of ambidexterity to incorporate ambidexterity-induced tension. Using this measurement model, they examine the effect of ambidexterity on the development of entrepreneurial and adaptive agility as well as performance.
Findings
Ambidexterity positively influences both entrepreneurial and adaptive agility, indicating that a balance between exploration and exploitation has superior organizational effects. This finding confirms the ambidexterity hypothesis with respect to organizational agility. Furthermore, both entrepreneurial and adaptive agility drive organizational performance. These two indirect effects via agility fully mediate the impact of ambidexterity on organizational performance. Finally, environmental competitiveness positively moderates the relationship between ambidexterity and adaptive agility.
Originality/value
The findings extend research on ambidexterity by showing its positive effects on organizational agility. Furthermore, the study proposes an alternative operationalization to capture the ambidexterity construct that may lay the groundwork for further applications of the ambidexterity concept.
Digitalisierung in Corporate Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A)-Prozessen birgt ein erhebliches Potenzial zur Effizienz- und Effektivitätssteigerung, erfährt jedoch bislang in der betrieblichen Praxis nur eine geringe Aufmerksamkeit. Dieser Beitrag schlägt angesichts dessen ein Reifegradmodell vor, womit sich der Ist-Stand der digitalen Reife eines Unternehmens bei Corporate M&A ermitteln und darauf aufbauend Optimierungspotenziale identifizieren lassen. Grundlage der Modellerstellung sind einerseits eine Analyse der vorhandenen Reifegradmodelle und andererseits Interviews mit M&A-Experten unterschiedlicher Unternehmen.
Purpose – This paper explores, which employer attractiveness attributes Generation Z (Gen Z) talents prioritize. Comparing the findings for female and male participants, this study examines whether gender-specific work value orientations prevail among Gen Z talents and impact their expectations toward employers.
Design/methodology/approach – A survey was conducted among 308 students of business, economics and management in Germany. Data were collected using the employer attractiveness scale of Berthon and colleagues (2005) complemented by an additional dimension focusing on work–life balance.
Findings – Findings indicate that Gen Z talents primarily expect a fun work environment, a positive team atmosphere and supportive relations with colleagues and superiors. Application aspects and work–life balance enabling services are expected the least. Expectations of four of the six attributes measured differ significantly among women and men, indicating that traditional gender assumptions continue to be reflected in the work value orientations of Gen Z talents.
Research limitations/implications – The sample was limited to business, economics and management students in Germany. Additional research should include a wider variety of respondents of different disciplines and countries.
Practical implications – Practical implications refer to emphasizing the social value of employment in the employee value proposition and customizing employer branding activities by gender.
Originality/value – This study contributes to the literature by empirically determining which employer attractiveness attributes Gen Z talents expect and whether and how these expectations vary by gender.
Wertschätzung zählt

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.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most promising technologies of the post-pandemic era. Cloud computing technology can simplify the process of developing AI applications by offering a variety of services, including ready-to-use tools to train machine learning (ML) algorithms. However, comparing the vast amount of services offered by different providers and selecting a suitable cloud service can be a major challenge for many firms. Also in academia, suitable criteria to evaluate this type of service remain largely unclear. Therefore, the overall aim of this work has been to develop a framework to evaluate cloud-based ML services. We use Design Science Research as our methodology and conduct a hermeneutic literature review, a vendor analysis, as well as, expert interviews. Based on our research, we present a novel framework for the evaluation of cloud-based ML services consisting of six categories and 22 criteria that are operationalized with the help of various metrics. We believe that our results will help organizations by providing specific guidance on how to compare and select service providers from the vast amount of potential suppliers.
Die Gewinnung und Bindung qualifizierter MINT-Mitarbeitender (Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaft und Technik) gehört zu den Herausforderungen des Personalmanagements, gerade in Bezug auf den weiblichen MINT-Nachwuchs. Spannend ist die Frage, ob Frauen Arbeitgebermerkmale anders gewichten als Männer und sich geschlechtsspezifische Präferenzen bei arbeitsplatzbezogenen Merkmalen auf den MINT-Kontext übertragen lassen. Eine empirische Untersuchung mit Studierenden technischer Studiengänge liefert Ansatzpunkte für die zielgruppenspezifische Gestaltung von Employer-Branding-Kampagnen und Rekrutierungsaktivitäten.
This study examines the phenomenon of Virtual Influencer (VI) marketing and its impact on customer purchase behavior. The aim is to understand the scope and impact of VI marketing. The study compares VI marketing to traditional Human Influencer (HI) marketing and identifies the unique benefits and challenges associated with VIs. A survey was conducted to gain insight into consumer attitudes and behaviors toward VIs. Key findings reveal varying levels of trust and acceptance of VIs among consumers. While some participants expressed openness to buying products promoted by VIs, others had reservations about their authenticity. The study also explores the potential role of VIs in the metaverse, highlighting business opportunities and challenges in this evolving digital landscape. Overall, this research sheds light on the growing influence of VIs and the need for further research in the field of marketing.
This study examines the underexplored areas of customer success management, focusing on the impact of leadership and companywide collaboration, and the role of customer success in overall firm performance. A qualitative research approach was utilized, which involved reviewing relevant literature and conducting an interview with the Vice President of Customer Success Management in B2B at a case company. Findings revealed that both leadership and pervasive collaboration greatly enhance the customer journey experience. Given that 75% of Annual Recurring Revenue is derived from existing customers, the substantial role of customer success in propelling business growth is affirmed. The study also demonstrated the importance of proactive customer engagement, assimilating customer feedback into products and services, and nurturing personal relationships with customers for fostering innovation. It further stressed the need for service provision and decision-making at various levels, as well as the implementation of a range of communication channels, to ensure customer success.
