Ein Stufenmodell für kollaborative offene Innovationsprozesse in Netzwerken kleiner und mittlerer Unternehmen mit Web 2.0 (2010)
Lindermann, Nadine ; Valcárcel, Sylvia ; Korflesch, Harald F. O. von
Das Forschungsprojekt KMU 2.0 zielt auf die Gestaltung einer modernen Arbeitswelt ab, in der die Mitarbeiter eines Netzwerkes kleiner und mittlerer Unternehmen (KMU) ihre Kompetenzen, Kreativität und Ideen in einen unternehmensübergreifenden Austausch einbringen, um innovative Lösungen für Probleme aus dem Berufsalltag gemeinsam zu generieren. Hierüber gilt es neue Wege und Szenarien für das Management der unternehmensübergreifenden Zusammenarbeit in KMU-Netzwerken zu erforschen, mit Hinblick auf die Entstehung und Umsetzung von Innovationen für Probleme aus der modernen Arbeitswelt. Fokussiert wird dabei auf den Einsatz von Web 2.0-Technologien, die als Instrument hinsichtlich ihres Unterstützungspotentials bei der kooperativen Generierung von innovativen Lösungen untersucht werden. Zentrale Fragestellung dabei ist, ob der Einsatz von Web 2.0 in einem Netzwerk von KMU den Austausch innovativer Ideen durch Vernetzung der Mitarbeiter und ihres kreativen Potentials fördert. Praxispartner ist das WirtschaftsForum Neuwied e.V., ein im nördlichen Rheinland-Pfalz angesiedeltes Unternehmen, das aus ca. 115 Mitgliedern und 10.000 Mitarbeitern besteht und durch eine heterogene Struktur an Unternehmen unterschiedlichster Größen und Branchen sowie verschiedenster Leistungsangebote charakterisiert ist.

Classification of coordination and awareness mechanisms in collaboration systems (2017)
Licht, Pia
Coordination and awareness mechanisms are important in systems for Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and traditional groupware systems. It has been a key focus of research into collaborative groupware and its capability to enable people to efficiently collaborate and coordinate work. Until now, no classification of the mechanisms has been undertaken to identify commonalities and differences in coordination and awareness mechanisms and to show their significance in collaborative environments. In addition, there is a little investigation of coordination and awareness mechanisms in new forms of groupware such as socially enabled Enterprise Collaboration Systems (ECS). Indeed, both in science and in practices, ECS incorporating social software have become increasingly important. Based on the combination of traditional groupware and social software, ECS also include coordination and awareness mechanisms that may simplify collaboration, but these have not yet been investigated. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to identify coordination and awareness mechanisms in the academic literature to provide a general overview of those mechanisms examples. Additionally, this thesis aims to classify the mechanism examples. Based on a deep literature analysis, concepts described in literature are chosen and applied with the intension to analyse the mechanisms and to reach a classification. Based on the classification of the identified mechanisms their commonalities and differences are examined and described to gain a better understanding of them. For illustration purpose, examples of coordination and awareness mechanisms and their application are portrayed. The mechanisms examples refer to the classification groups derived. The selection of the mechanisms for the visualization is based on significant differences in their functionality. Subsequently, the selected mechanisms, more based on traditional groupware, are checked to a limited extend whether they can be found in socially enabled ECS. The collaborative platform of IBM Connections serves as a practical example of ECS incorporating social software. IBM Connections is used at the University of Koblenz to run the platform "UniConnect". On the platform it is investigated which of the identified mechanisms examples of the literature are applied in IBM Connections and which additional mechanisms are created by users. This work is the first step in the study of coordination and awareness mechanisms in socially-enabled ECS. In addition, it is expected to detect new mechanisms which are used while the social factor to collaborative work is new. The purpose of this thesis is to examine and collect coordination and awareness mechanisms examples in literature to analyse them. Additionally, the purpose is to provide a first overview of mechanisms and to classify them by investigating their commonalities. Beside this thesis should give incentive for further investigations to investigate coordination and awareness mechanisms in socially integrated ECS.
Sharing Economy im Business-to-Business - Eine Bestandsaufnahme und Modellierung (2020)
Lekhtser, Stanislav
"We've allways been in a culture where more is more, and suddenly we're in a culture whrere less is a better quality of life. It's pretty revolutionary." - Bill Stewart The transformation of society in recent years has brought significant changes, including the trend towards more conscious consumption and more sustainable use of resources. Traditional patterns have increasingly receded into the background, stereotypes have been broken and the standards of assessment have been redefined. And so we have arrived at a time when owning less is considered as more valuable and minimalism has become a new trend. The transformation of the social norms has also led to changes in the economy. Due to recent changes, sharing economy has emerged as a new, rapidly growing sector of the economy. In simple terms, the business model can be put as the sharing of unused resources in exchange for (non-) monetary incentives. The present bachelor thesis deals with the implementation of the sharing economy in the B2B sector. The advantages and disadvantages of the business model have been shown and opportunities and risks of the implementation in companies have been described. Furthermore, it is examined, which conditions of the consumer sector are suitable for implementation in the B2B model and which new factors should be taken into consideration. Based on the literature analysis, a B2C model has been developed. In addition, qualitative interviews were carried out. Among the experts were the managers and CEO of a medium-sized IT company. The results of the evaluation, based on Mayring (2002), helped to develop a decision model for implementation of sharing economy in B2B and to answer the research questions. Based on the results of the interviews, key framework conditions were transferred from the private sharing sector to the B2B model. In addition, further factors were identified. Depending on the decision model, it was possible to show the requirements for the implementation of sharing economy in the B2B environment and identify the challenges to be faced.
Entwicklung eines Dienstleistungsproduktivitätsmodells (DLPMM) am Beispiel von B2B Software-Customizing (2012)
Kutsch, Horst ; Bertram, Matthias ; Korflesch, Harald F. O. von
Die Messung der Produktivität von Dienstleistungen ist trotz zunehmender Relevanz immer noch ein wenig durchdrungenes Forschungsfeld. Ursachen hierfür sind vor allem in den besonderen Merkmalen von Dienstleistungen - Immaterialität und Integrativität - zu suchen. Eine typische Dienstleistung der B2B Softwarebranche ist die Anpassung von Systemen an die Bedürfnisse des Kunden - das sogenannte Customizing. Die Ausschöpfung des Customizing-Potentials von Standardsoftware und -produkten und eine stärkere Einbeziehung des Kunden in Innovationsprozesse werden jedoch dadurch erschwert, dass die Produktivität dieser Dienstleistung nur unzureichend mess- und somit bewertbar zu sein scheint. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt die Entwicklung eines Modells zur Messung der Produktivität von Dienstleistungen auf der Basis unterschiedlicher Vorstudien im Rahmen des CustomB2B Projektes an der Universität Koblenz-Landau.

Which work-life balance offers should companies prowide nowadays? (2016)
Krath, Jeanine ; Zerwas, Claire ; Korflesch, Harald F. O. von
In order to enhance the company’s appeal for potential employees and improve the satisfaction of already salaried workers, it is necessary to offer a variety of work-life balance measures. But as their implementation causes time and financial costs, a prioritization of measures is needed. To express a recommendation for companies, this study is led by the questions if there are work-life balance measures which have more impact on employee satisfaction than others, how big the relative impact of work-life balance measures on job satisfaction in comparison to other work and private life variables is, if there is a relation between the effectiveness of measures and their use and if there is a difference between the measures which are most important from the employees’ perspective and the companies’ offers. These questions are formulated in eight research hypotheses which are examined in a quantitative research design with online survey data from 289 employees of fifteen different German companies. The formation of a hierarchy of the effectiveness of measures towards job satisfaction as well as the investigation of the relative impact in comparison to other variables is performed using a multiple regression analysis, whilst the differences between employees’ expectations and the availability of offers are examined with t-tests. Support in childcare, support in voluntary activities and teambuilding events have a significantly higher impact on job satisfaction than other work-life balance measures, and their potential use is higher than the actual use which leads to the conclusion that there is yet potential for companies to improve their employees’ satisfaction by implementing these measures. In addition, flexible work hours, flexible work locations and free time and overtime accounts are the most important measures from the employees’ point of view and already widely offered by the surveyed companies. In general, the overall use of the available measures and the quantity of offered measures are more important with regard to job satisfaction than the specific kind of measure. In addition, work-life balance measures are more important towards job satisfaction for younger people.
Vertrauen im Kontext Crowdfunding (2016)
Kozodaeva, Julia
Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Betrachtung der Rolle von Vertrauen zwischen den Kapitalnehmern und Kapitalgebern auf einer der größten Crowdfunding-Plattformen, Kickstarter. Kernthema ist die Beantwortung der Forschungsfragen, wie das Vertrauen zwischen den Kapitalgebern und Kapitalnehmern im Kontext von Crowdfunding entsteht, welche Faktoren das Maß von Vertrauen in dieser Beziehung beeinflussen und welche Signale für die Vertrauensbildung verantwortlich sind. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit besteht darin, das von Zerwas, Kilian und von Kortzfleisch 2015 vorgestellte konzeptuelle Modell der Einflussfaktoren von Vertrauen im Kontext von Crowdfunding aus Sicht der Kapitalgeber zu überprüfen und gegebenenfalls zu erweitern. Auf Grundlage einer Literaturrecherche und qualitativer, leitfadenorientierter Interviews werden die gesammelten Daten diskutiert, bestehende Faktoren verifiziert und weiterführend neue Faktoren und Signale identifiziert, die die Bildung von Vertrauen auf Crowdfunding-Plattformen beeinflussen. Als Ergebnis werden die Überarbeitung sowie Erweiterung des Ausgangsmodells um die neuen Faktoren geographische Nähe, Vermittlerqualität und Verständnis vom Konzept Crowdfunding vorgeschlagen. Anhand der Häufigkeit der Erwähnung und Relevanz der Faktoren und beeinflussenden Signale in den durchgeführten Interviews wird weiterführend eine Gewichtung der Einzelfaktoren vorgenommen. Abschließend werden Implikationen und Bedeutung für Wissenschaft und Forschung diskutiert.
Grundlagen der Systemtheorie zur Anwendung transdisziplinärer Verfahren der Technikfolgenabschätzung (2020)
Kowalczyk, Michaela
The technological progress is highly responsible for how people live their everyday life. Technical innovations provide new opportunities to re-design all areas of life and because of that the society has to adjust to these changes permanently. These days, due to the fact that there is a changeover from analog into digital processes, this circumstance is highly relevant. However, it is not always clear whether a technological innovation just entails chances or involves risks, too. The research field of technology assessment pursues the goal to examine the influence of technological innovations on the society. For this purpose, unpredictable consequences of a technology need to be anticipated in advance to provide the opportunity of earlier reactions. The core of this thesis a discussion about a project based approach of technology assessment. Additionally, it is being investigated whether and how systems theory approaches can be used to improve predictions in the research area of technology assessment. Therefore, the question of how reliable forecasts are in this kind of context will be answered. Moreover, there is an investigation if an added-value can be created through performing system thinking. As a methodical approach a literature review has been performed. Furthermore, experts were questioned in an interview and by e-mail to gain an insight in the practical work of technology assessment. Based on the elaborated project structure, for each part of the project was examined if significant results can be maintained through the sophisticated use of principles of the systems theory. The analysis of this paper has shown that the results of a technology assessment may have more reliable forecast value in comparison to an investigation without proper consideration of system thinking. Especially, the understanding of a system during the phase of conception of a project can be crucial for the positive outcome for the results of technology assessment. This master thesis represents the theoretical point of view regarding topics technology assessment and systems theory. An application test for the validation of the results in the practical work of technology assessment is recommended.
Introducing Entrepeneurial Design Thinking (2012)
Korflesch, Harald F. O. von ; Mokanis, Ilias ; Zerwas, Dorothée
The objective of this contribution is to conceptually analyze the potentials of entrepreneurial design thinking as being a rather new method for entrepreneurship education. Based on a literature review of different design thinking concepts we carve out a generic design thinking model upon we conceptually build a new model that considers entrepreneurial thinking as a valuable characteristic. The results of our work show that the characteristics of entrepreneurial design thinking can enhance entrepreneurship education by supporting respective action fields of entrepreneurial learning. In addition we reveal that entrepreneurial design thinking offers beneficial guidelines for the design of entrepreneurship education programs.

What impedes Consumers’ Delivery Drone Service Adoption? (2020)
Knobloch, Marius ; Schaarschmidt, Mario
Despite widespread plans of big companies like Amazon and Google to develop unmanned delivery drones, scholarly research in this field is scarce, especially in the information systems field. From technical and legal perspectives, drone delivery in last-mile scenarios is in a quite mature state. However, estimates of user acceptance are varying between high skepticism and exaggerated optimism. This research follows a mixed method approach consisting both qualitative and quantitative research, to identify and test determinants of consumer delivery drone service adoption. The qualitative part rests on ten interviews among average consumers, who use delivery services on a regular basis. Insights gained from the qualitative part were used to develop an online survey and to assess the influence of associated risks on adoption intentions. The quantitative results show that especially financial and physical risks impede drone delivery service adoption. Delivery companies who are currently thinking about providing a delivery drone service may find these results useful when evaluating usage behaviors in the future market for delivery drones.
Die Messung von Kundendiskriminierung in Dienstleistungsunternehmen - eine Analyse von Determinanten und kundenbezogenen Konsequenzen (2011)
Klinner-Möller, Nicole
Despite their importance to the permanent success of service firms, the construct of perceived customer discrimination and its impact on the customer so far has received relatively little attention in business and management research. Existing studies, mostly social science studies from the United States, show the existence of discrimination in different service contexts. Nevertheless, the existing literature shows some gaps that require further research. So far primarily qualitative and case-based studies about customer discrimination exist which hinder the generalization of the findings. Moreover, although such studies give insight into the origin and the perception of discrimination from the customers" perspective, they provide no useful means to the management of service firms to verify the existence of discrimination in the customer contact of their own company. A research gap exists mainly with regard to the measurement of perceived customer discrimination and the investigation of its consequences. The aim of this thesis is to develop and validate a multi-item scale for measuring perceived customer discrimination. Firstly, this thesis develops a literature-based understanding of perceived customer discrimination, assuming a three-dimensional conceptualization of the construct. Based upon this three-dimensional conceptualization in a first study, an instrument for measuring perceived customer discrimination with the dimensions "overt discrimination", "discriminatory level of service" and "subtle discrimination" is being developed using qualitative and quantitative methods. Based on this three-dimensional conceptualization of perceived customer discrimination hypotheses are formulated and empirically tested supporting the nomological validity of the scale (study 1). Subsequently, the predictive validity of the scale is examined with a further sample and a known groups validity is conducted (study 2). To reconfirm the three-dimensionality and the nomological validity of the scale, dyads of service employees and customers are being surveyed in a further study via a questionnaire (study 3). Managerial and research-related implications of the results are discussed.
Prävention von Korruption (2006)
Klinkner, Jan
The known methods of the prevention of corruption are set into context of comparable ways to obviate accidences during working processes, environmental pollution by organisations and the options to ensure quality for manufactured goods. The aim was to find out if and in which degree the different methods of prevention in the area of corruption and the mentioned aspects of the TQM support each other.
Kommunikation via Fotos – Selbstdarstellung und Vermarktung von professionellen Fußballprofis auf Instagram am Beispiel des FC Bayern München (2022)
Kirsten, Niklas
Social Media is a world-wide phenomenon which has drastically changed the way humans communicate, the availability of information, as well as a crucial tool for various businesses. This has also heavily influenced the sporting community which presents the focus of this study. The work aims to examine the self-presentation, on the media platform Instagram, of footballers from FC Bayern Munich, to gain an understanding of how athletes use this medium as a communication and marketing tool to build their brand. Instagram was chosen due to it being a platform on which users post visual images as their primary communication mechanism. There are many social media uses for professional athletes. From the sharing of personal lives, professional highlights, and opinion, to product placement and endorsements, athletes are closer to fans and consumers than ever before. Social media also puts the athlete in charge of the message, image, and content regarding their careers and their lives Ten footballers were selected against specified criteria and examined against Goffman’s theory of self-presentation (1959) to formulate the research question: “Which forms of presentation of football players of FC Bayern Munich ́s Instagram posts achieve the highest user engagement?” Empirical research analysed the effect of different visual and contextual forms on user engagement rates. Through the works literature review, individual hypotheses were derived and tested in a quantitative standardized media content analysis. The first 50 Instagram posts of each of the ten FC Bayern Munich football players with the most followers were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics software. From the visual aspect seven photo categories were developed which were examined in relation to their engagement rate with the posts. Within the contextual framework, the importance and effect of the number of tags and hashtags used were analyzed. Findings revealed differences to previous research on an athlete ́s use of written social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter, as the majority of visual images posted by athletes were in sporty settings, thus reflecting frontpage-performance strategies according to the self-presentation theory. Further results showed that a greater utilization of hashtags and tags do not correlate with a higher impact on the engagement rates. Personal brand management implications for athletes are examined in greater detail in the discussion.
Entrepreneurial Personality Traits (2016)
Keller, Manuela
How entrepreneurs become successful with their business ideas has been a topic of discussion within entrepreneurial research circles for many years. Business success has been related to psychological characteristics and many research findings have explained how people become entrepreneurs and furthermore, how they find success in regards to their business ventures. People always wanted to know what defines an entrepreneur and more importantly, what is needed to become a successful entrepreneur. Curious minds began to search for the recipe for success. Personality Traits have been researched for years, leading to the discovery of many diverse and distinct forms which are still recognized today. Researchers compared the Behavioral Approach or the analysis of demographical characteristics to success. This raises the question of what an entrepreneur needs to become successful which is made more difficult due to the fact that entrepreneurship and who an entrepreneur is can be difficult do define exactly. Entrepreneurs are diverse and distinct individuals that each possess their own characteristics, behavior and reasons for starting a business. Many people assume that it is just someone who starts their own business. While partially correct, this only scratches the surface of what it is to be an entrepreneur. This thesis answers the following three research questions: 1. Which personality traits were found in the almost sixty years of researching? 2. What triggers do entrepreneurs need for starting a new business? 3. Which factor makes the entrepreneur successful with their business idea? Also, reading the thesis, one may gain a better understanding of what entrepreneurship is, what defines an entrepreneur and what one needs to become a successful entrepreneur. In this thesis the reviewing literature method developed by Wolfswinkel et al. (2011) was used to identify suitable literature and references for the main chapters. For that the five stages of the grounded-theory method for reviewing the literature were used in an iterative fashion. In step one inclusion and exclusion criterias for literature were defined. Then literature was searched matching the criterias of step one. In step three the samples were refined. Then in step four the found literature was analyzed and coded before the results of this research was presented in the following text. Many entrepreneurial personality traits were discovered and confirmed during the studies conducted over the last sixty years, these include but are not limited to Need for Achievement, Locus of Control, or risk taking propensity. Motivation is clearly the main trigger to start your own business. During the studies reasons were discovered of how and why an entrepreneur may become successful outside of posessing the right combination of traits. For example: having human, financial and social capital, an entrepreneurial behavior and the right economic conditions to start a business that will survive for more than five years.
Open Innovation: Kundenintegration am Beispiel von IPTV (2010)
Kahle, Christoph ; Schaarschmidt, Mario ; Korflesch, Harald F. O. von
Neue Technologien und Innovationen stellen heutzutage wichtige Schlüsselelemente der Wachstums und Erfolgssicherung von Unternehmen dar. Durch einen in Geschwindigkeit und Intensität immer schneller zunehmenden Wettbewerb nehmen Innovationen eine immer zentralere Rolle im Praxisalltag von Unternehmen ein. Dieser technische Fortschritt treibt auch in der Wissenschaft das Thema des Innovationsmanagements in den letzten Jahrzehnten immer stärker voran und wird dort ausgiebig diskutiert. Die Bedeutung von Innovationen wächst dabei ebenfalls aus der Sicht der Kunden, welche heutzutage viel differenzierter als früher Produkte und Dienste nachfragen und somit Unternehmen vor neue Herausforderungen stellen. Überdies stellen Innovationen heute ein entscheidendes Bindeglied zwischen Marktorientierung und erhofften Unternehmenserfolg dar. Seit einigen Jahren lässt sich eine Öffnung der Unternehmensgrenzen für externe Quellen wie Kunden, Zulieferer, Universitäten oder teilweise auch Mitbewerber erkennen. Diese Thematik wird innerhalb der betriebswirtschaftlichen Forschung unter dem Begriff Open Innovation diskutiert. Das Paradigma eines innerbetrieblichen, geschlossenen Forschungsund Entwicklungsbetriebs wird darin zugunsten eines gemeinsamen, kollaborativen Prozesses zwischen Unternehmen und den oben erwähnten verschiedenen Partnern aufgelöst. Diese Öffnung des unternehmensinternen Innovationsprozesses erforscht die Wissenschaft insbesondere in Bezug auf die frühen Phasen der Produktentwicklung mit der Fragestellung, inwieweit kollaborative Prozesse den Ideenreichtum und dadurch die Innovationskraft eines Unternehmens erhöhen können. Zahlreiche Fallstudien sind in denletzten Jahren entstanden, welche sich dem Thema Open Innovation angenommen haben. Zumeist wurden dabei einzelne Unternehmen bei der Einführung der "Lead User" Methodik begleitet, an dessen Ende oft wertvolle Ideen für die entsprechenden Unternehmen generiert werden konnten. In den späten Phasen der Produktentwicklung ist eine entsprechende Kundenfokussierung durch die Möglichkeiten der Produktindividualisierung vergleichbar erforscht, wie es sich durch die umfassende Forschung hinsichtlich einer Produktindividualisierung zeigt. Trotz dieser Erkenntnisse hinsichtlich der Potenziale von offenen Innovationsprozessen nutzen viele Unternehmen das Wissen ihrer Kunden unzureichend. Dies erscheint zunächst unverständlich, da die Forschung aufzeigt, dass die Kundeneinbindung als eine vielversprechende Ressource für erfolgreiche Innovationen dienen kann. Die Managementforschung beschäftigt sich dennoch erst in den letzten Jahren verstärkt mit geöffneten Innovationsprozessen " eine Ausnahme stellen dabei jedoch die frühen Arbeiten von Hippel- dar. Bisherige Forschungsergebnisse gehen davon aus, dass eine Einbindung des Kunden besonders in den vorderen und hinteren Phasen des Innovationsprozesses stattfindet. Die Motivation dieser Arbeit liegt nun darin, konkrete Maßnahmen entlang des gesamten Innovationsprozesses zu identifizieren und diese auf ihre Anwendbarkeit hin zu prüfen. Gegenstand der Betrachtungen ist die technologische Innovation Internetprotokoll basiertes Fernsehen (IPTV), welches klassische unidirektionale Informationsangebote " analog zu den Entwicklungen des Internets " zu bidirektional nutzbaren Angeboten ausweitet.
Blockchain in Healthcare (2020)
K.C., Biplov
The underlying characteristics of blockchain can facilitate data provenance, data integrity, data security, and data management. It has the potential to transform the healthcare sector. Since the introduction of Bitcoin in the fintech industry, the blcockhain technology has been gaining a lot of traction and its purpose is not just limited to finance. This thesis highlights the inner workings of blockchain technology and its application areas with possible existing solutions. Blockchain could lay the path for a new revolution in conventional healthcare systems. We presented how individual sectors within the healthcare industry could use blockchain and what solution persists. Also, we have presented our own concept to improve the existing paper-based prescription management system which is based on Hyperledger framework. The results of this work suggest that healthcare can benefit from blockchain technology bringing in the new ways patients can be treated.
Bitcoin: Currency oder Coupon? (2014)
Jahnel, Marco
Beim Bitcoin handelt es sich um eine dezentrale virtuelle Währung in einem Peer-to-Peer Netzwerk. Die digitalen Münzen wurden 2008 durch Satoshi Nakamoto erfunden und seit 2009 in Umlauf gebracht. Das angestrebte Ziel des Bitcoin sind Transaktionen zum Erwerb virtueller und realer Güter ohne das Einwirken von Finanzintermediären. Dadurch können Transaktionskosten minimiert werden. Das Vertrauen in solche dritte Parteien wird dabei durch ein mathematisches Konzept ersetzt und durch das Bitcoinnetzwerk und all seine Nutzer sichergestellt. Obwohl die digitalen Münzen eigentlich als Tauschmittel konzipiert wurden, ist der aktuelle Anwendungsbereich noch sehr gering. Die Kursentwicklung hingegen erfuhr seit Anfang 2013 mehrere Berg- und Talfahrten auf den Handelsplattformen für den Bitcoin. Während sich viele wissenschaftliche Arbeiten mit den technischen Aspekten im Bereich der Informatik befassen, klafft im ökonomischen Kontext noch eine große Lücke. Was macht ein Zahlungsmittel eigentlich aus und wie ist der Bitcoin im volkswirtschaftlichen Sinne einzuordnen? Mit diesen Fragestellungen wird sich in dieser Ausarbeitung auseinandergesetzt. Als Vergleichsgröße wurden dabei, auf Basis sorgfältig ausgewählter Literatur, die Aspekte realer Währungen nach ihren Funktionen, Eigenschaften und Formen untersucht. Anschließend wurden die technischen Grundlagen der virtuellen Währung dargelegt, um ebenfalls den Bitcoin darauf anzuwenden. Dabei hat sich gezeigt, dass die digitalen Münzen als virtuelle Währung, gegenüber realen Währungen, noch deutliche Defizite aufweisen. Eine besonders gravierende Schwachstelle stellt dabei die hohe Volatilität des Kurses dar. Sie sorgt dafür, dass der Bitcoin mit einer solchen Instabilität nicht die Wertaufbewahrungsfunktion gewährleisten kann. Da dies ein ausschlaggebendes Kriterium zur Erfüllung der Geldfunktionen darstellt, kann der Bitcoin ebenfalls nicht die Rolle als Zahlungsmittel erfüllen, wie es bei den realen Währungen der Fall ist.
Potenziale der Digitalisierung für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (2020)
Hohl, Fabienne
Digital Transformation is a main enabler for technological change in today’s society and corporate structures. Companies of all sizes have to face up the change. The com-plexity of the innovations is constantly growing. More and more information and knowledge are needed to build a basis for renewal. Different capabilities, such as highly qualified employees, material resources and the correct handling with these information, constitute the background for the advancement. Compared to large companies, small and medium sized companies (SMEs) are struggling more with these circum-stances. This leaves potential capabilities to optimize daily routines unused. Challenges here are different internal and external barriers. Examples for that are the lack of IT expertise and innovation culture. Hence it is very important, to show SMEs the advantages of the innovation process within the scope of digital transformation. Cost savings, improvement of IT infrastructure or optimization of their business processes, are drivers that should be adopted in the awareness of SMEs. Recommendations for action are needed, also with the support of information management. This includes information management, strategic management for external an internal information and the selection of an appropriate IT infrastructure. However dynamic management skills and sufficient IT expertise also complement the digitization process. This becomes clear from the literature analysis following the principles of Webster and Watson (2002). The Concept mapping and the concept matrix serves to support the process. They are presenting the key words and showing the most important works of the bachelor thesis. The argumentation of the bachelor thesis based on this.
