Implementation of Agile Software Development Methodology in a Company – Why? Challenges? Benefits?
(2019)
The software development industry is enhancing day by day. The introduction of agile software development methodologies was a tremendous structural change in companies. Agile transformation provides unlimited opportunities and benefits to the existing and new developing companies. Along with benefits, agile conversion also brings many unseen challenges. New entrants have the advantage of being flexible and cope with the environmental, consumer, and cultural changes, but existing companies are bound to rigid structure.
The goal of this research is to have deep insight into agile software development methodology, agile manifesto, and principles behind the agile manifesto. The prerequisites company must know for agile software development implementation. The benefits a company can achieve by implementing agile software development. Significant challenges that a company can face during agile implementation in a company.
The research objectives of this study help to generate strong motivational research questions. These research questions cover the cultural aspects of company agility, values and principles of agile, benefits, and challenges of agile implementation. The project management triangle will show how benefits of cost, benefits of time, and benefits of quality can be achieved by implementing agile methodologies. Six significant areas have been explored, which shows different challenges a company can face during implementation agile software development methodology. In the end, after the in depth systematic literature review, conclusion is made following some open topics for future work and recommendations on the topic of implementation of agile software development methodology in a company.
Das Ziel dieser Masterarbeit war es ein CRM System für das Assist Team der CompuGroup Medical zu entwickeln, welches Open Innovation in die Entwicklung der Minerva 2.0 Software integriert. Um dies zu erreichen wurden CRM Methoden mit Social Networ- king Systemen kombiniert, basierend auf der Forschung von Lin und Chen (2010, S. 11 – 30). Um die definierten Ziele zu erreichen wurde Literatur analysiert, wie ein CRM System und eine Online Community erfolgreich implementiert werden können und dies auf die Entwicklung der Minerva Community angewendet. Dabei wurde sich an den Design Science Richtlinien von Hevner u. a. (2004, S. 75 – 104) orientiert. Das fertige Produkt wurde basierend auf Kunden- und Managementanforderungen entworfen und wurde an- schließend aus Kunden- und Firmenperspektive evaluiert.
As a result of the technical progress, processes have to be adjusted. On the one hand, the digital transformation is absolutely necessary for every organization to operate efficient and sustainable, on the other hand whose accomplishment is a tremendous challenge. The huge amount of personal data, which accrue in this context, is an additional difficulty.
Against the background of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), this thesis focuses on process management and ways of optimizing processes in a Human Resources Department. Beside the analysis of already existing structures and workflows, data management and especially the handling of personal data in an application process are examined. Both topics, the process management and the data protection are vitally important by itself, but it is necessary to implement the requirements of data protection within the appropriate position of a corresponding process. Relating to this, the thesis deals with the research question of what barriers may occur by a sustainable process integration and to which extend the GDPR prevent an unobstructed workflow within the Human Resources Department of the Handwerkskammer Koblenz. Additionally, answering the question of which subprocesses are convenient for a process automation is highly significant.
In scope of these questions Business Process Management is the solution. By means of the graphical representation standard, Business Process Model and Notation, a process model with the relevant activities, documents and responsibilities of the recruitment process is designed. Based on a target-actual comparison it becomes apparent, that standardized process steps with less exceptions and a large amount of information are basically convenient for automation respectively partial automation. After the different phases of the recruitment process are documented in detail, a Workflow-Management-System can ex-port the transformed models, so the involved employees just have to carry out a task list with assigned exercises. Against the background of the data protection regulations, access rights and maturities can be determined. Subsequently only authorized employees have admission to the personal data of applicants. Because of impending sanctions by violation against the GDPR, the implementation of the relevant legal foundations within the recruitment process is necessary and appropriate. Relating to the defined research questions, it appears that in principle not every activity is appropriate for a process automation. Especially unpredictable and on a wide range of factors depending subprocesses are unsuitable. Additionally, media discontinuities and redundant data input are obstacles to an enduring process integration. Nevertheless, a coherent consideration of the topics of business process management and the data protection regulations is required.
Digital Transformation Maturity of Vietnam Aviation Industry: The Effect of Organizational Readiness
(2023)
The paper studies the digital transformation maturity in the context of the aviation industry in Vietnam. Digital transformation can mean enhancing existing processes, finding new opportunities within existing business domains, or finding new opportunities outside existing business domains. In the era of post Covid-19, digital transformation will play a vital role in the recovery with the support from digital technology to leverage the communication and implementation of new projects or changes.
Digital transformation and digital transformation maturity sometimes are used indistinguishing, but they are two different definitions. This paper will further explain the differences and will apply digital transformation maturity as a scale for the digital transformation in the report.
Due to the lack of experiment in the relationship between digital transformation maturity and the organizational readiness, the study will explore four components of organizational readiness, including digital leadership, digital culture, digital capabilities, and digital partnering.

The erosion of the closed innovation paradigm in conjunction with increasing competitive pressure has boosted the interest of both researchers and organizations in open innovation. Despite such rising interest, several companies remain reluctant to open their organizational boundaries to practice open innovation. Among the many reasons for such reservation are the pertinent complexity of transitioning toward open innovation and a lack of understanding of the procedures required for such endeavors. Hence, this thesis sets out to investigate how organizations can open their boundaries to successfully transition from closed to open innovation by analyzing the current literature on open innovation. In doing so, the transitional procedures are structured and classified into a model comprising three phases, namely unfreezing, moving, and institutionalizing of changes. Procedures of the unfreezing phase lay the foundation for a successful transition to open innovation, while procedures of the moving phase depict how the change occurs. Finally, procedures of the institutionalizing phase contribute to the sustainability of the transition by employing governance mechanisms and performance measures. Additionally, the individual procedures are characterized along with their corresponding barriers and critical success factors. As a result of this structured depiction of the transition process, a guideline is derived. This guideline includes the commonly employed actions of successful practitioners of open innovation, which may serve as a baseline for interested parties of the paradigm. With the derivation of the guideline and concise depiction of the individual transitional phases, this thesis consequently reduces the overall complexity and increases the comprehensibility of the transition and its implications for organizations.
Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Thema Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). Die Ziele der Arbeit sind die Klärung des Begriffs sowie die Ermittlung des aktuellen Stands der Forschung in dem Gebiet. RRI ist ein Konzept, welches wesentlich von der Europäischen Kommission (EC) geprägt wurde. Es ist zusammengesetzt aus Verantwortung, Forschung und Innovation, welche hier zunächst einzeln betrachtet werden. Verantwortung setzt sich gemäß der hier verwendeten Definition von Clausen (2009) aus Subjekt („Wer übernimmt Verantwortung“), Objekt („wofür,“), Adressaten („wem gegenüber“) und Instanzen („und wieso?“) zusammen. Im Rahmen des konzeptuellen Teils dieser Arbeit wird die Eigenschaft von Unternehmen als Verantwortungssubjekte damit begründet, dass sie zielgerichtet handeln und vor allem die Gesellschaft, welche gleichzeitig als wichtiger Adressat und als Instanz der Verantwortung auftritt, sie zunehmend für die Folgen ihrer Handlungen in die Pflicht nimmt. Das Gebiet der Nachhaltigkeit mit seinen Säulen Ökonomie, Ökologie und Soziales wird außerdem als Verantwortungsobjekt eingehend betrachtet. Innovation und ihre Teilmenge Forschung werden in dieser Arbeit als komplexe Prozesse verstanden, die Unternehmensziele auf neuartige Weise umsetzen. Mittels einer Literaturanalyse nach Webster & Watson (2002) wird der aktuelle Stand der Forschung zu RRI ermittelt. Der Großteil der verwendeten Literatur wird dabei als konzeptioneller Natur identifiziert. Trotz großer Unklarheiten, die noch vorherrschen, lassen sich vier Dimensionen von RRI herauslesen: Deliberation, Antizipation, Reflexivität und Reaktivität. Die Dimensionen, welche von der EC verwendet werden, sind demnach eher als Aktivitäten einzuordnen. Forschung und Innovation, welche nach RRI ausgerichtet wird, bezieht Stakeholder und insbesondere die Gesellschaft von Anfang an in den Prozess ein, betrachtet ihre möglichen Auswirkungen und stellt ihre Hintergründe und grundlegenden Werte kontinuierlich in Frage. Den wichtigsten Aspekt stellt dabei die Anpassungsfähigkeit des Prozesses gemäß den Ergebnissen aus den übrigen Dimensionen dar. Alle Aktivitäten basieren auf Verantwortung und Nachhaltigkeit und werden durch geeignete Steuerung integriert. Über die konzeptionelle Arbeit hinaus wurde erst wenig Forschung durchgeführt, insbesondere was Operationalisierung und Implementierung von RRI angeht. Für letztere wird hier die Einbettung in einen Stage-Gate-Prozess nach Cooper (2010) vorgeschlagen. Auch die tatsächliche Ausgestaltung der konzeptionellen Dimensionen muss jedoch noch konkretisiert werden. Außerdem muss insgesamt das Bewusstsein für RRI geschärft werden und ein Bekenntnis zu RRI erfolgen.
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.
Thesis is devoted to the topic of challenges and solutions for human resources management (HRM) in international organizations. The aim is to investigate methodological approaches to assessment of HRM challenges and solutions, and to apply them on practice, to develop ways of improvement of HRM of a particular enterprise. The practical research question investigated is “Is the Ongoing Professional Development – Strategic HRM (OPD-SHRM) model a better solution for HRM system of PrJSC “Philip Morris Ukraine”?”
To achieve the aim of this work and to answer the research question, we have studied theoretical approaches to explaining and assessing HRM in section 1, analyzed HRM system of an international enterprise in section 2, and then synthesized theory and practice to find intersection points in section 3.
Research findings indicate that the main challenge of HRM is to balance between individual and organizational interests. Implementation of OPD-SHRM is one of the solutions. Switching focus from satisfaction towards success will bring both tangible and intangible benefits for individuals and organization. In case of PrJSC “Philip Morris Ukraine”, the maximum forecasted increase is 330% in net profit, 350% in labor productivity, and 26% in Employee Development and Engagement Index.
FinTech is deemed to be an underexplored phenomenon even in academic and real environments. Among (1) “Sustainable FinTech” – the application of information technology as innovation in established financial services providers’ business operation; and (2) “Disruptive FinTech” – the provision of financial products and services by non-incumbents which in most cases are information technology entrepreneurs, the former receives more attention. In order to contribute to Disruptive FinTech category, the thesis strive to examine Entrepreneurial Strategy framework applied for technology players taking part in Vietnam financial market.
