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.
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.
Eine wachsende Werbe- und Informationsflut sowie eine eingeschränkte Kapazität der Informationsaufnahme stellen das Marketing in unserer heutigen Zeit vor eine Herausforderung. Das Marketing ist allgemein für den Erfolg eines Unternehmens von großer Bedeutung. Jedoch dominiert die klassische Marketinglehre, welche die Besonderheiten junger Unternehmen gerade im Hinblick auf deren Marketing unbeachtet lässt. Ein junges Unternehmen mit einer neuen Idee und einem neuen Produkt trifft auf einen bestehenden Markt mit Kunden und bereits etablierten Wettbewerbern. Auf eine Innovation bezogenen Gründungskontext stellt das eine besondere Herausforderung dar.
In der vorliegenden Bachelorarbeit werden zunächst die Teilbereiche der Thematik, das Entrepreneurship und das Marketing thematisiert. Grundlegend ist die Herausarbeitung der besonderen Eigenschaften von jungen Unternehmen, der sogenannten Liabilities. Die Bedeutung des Begriffs des Entrepreneurial Marketing wird durch die detaillierte Betrachtung des engen, wie auch des weiten Begriffsverständnis dargelegt. Anschließend wird durch die Gegenüberstellung der Unterschied zum klassischen Marketing verdeutlicht. Im Rahmen der Literaturanalyse wird der aktuelle Stand der Forschung dargelegt und die praktische Anwendung anhand der zentralen Ansätze näher betrachtet. Zu diesen Ansätzen zählen das Guerilla Marketing, Ambient Marketing, Sensation Marketing, Viral Marketing und das Ambush Marketing. Wie genau das Entrepreneurial Marketing in Form der zentralen Ansätzen konkret in einem Gründungsunternehmen Einsatz findet, wird durch eine qualitative Untersuchung in Form einer Case Study analysiert.
Der Case Study geht hervor, dass durch unkonventionelle Marketingmaßnahmen und einen geringen Mitteleinsatz eine große Wirkung erzielt werden kann. Das Entrepreneurial Marketing bietet demnach eine Alternative zum klassischen Marketing, die den besonderen Eigenschaften eines jungen Gründungsunternehmens Beachtung schenkt. Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt somit, dass das Entrepreneurial Marketing unter Einsatz der zentralen Ansätze die Schwächen eines jungen Gründungsunternehmens in Stärken verwandelt und zur Überlegenheit gegenüber der Konkurrenz führen kann.
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.
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.
