The notion of frugal innovation or how to do more with less becomes increasingly relevant in a world which faces many severe health care challenges. In general, frugal innovations have the potential to provide low-cost, simple, and valuable solutions to these challenges. Therefore, this research aims to shed light on key success factors and patterns of frugal innovations in the Indian health care sector. For this reason, the research analyzes a sample of nine selected frugal innovations. The frugal innovation examples are examined with respect to their innovation characteristics. Further, the examination of success patterns allows to investigate the potential of reversed innovation in developed countries in order to improve global health. To sum up, the research provides profound insights on the subject of frugal innovations and conclusions on the research questions. Finally, an outlook on future developments in the health care sector and future research are given.
How will the future of business schools in Germany look like in 2035? Scenario Planning with INKA 4
(2019)
Business schools have been largely successful in attracting students and producing publications in the last few decades. Nevertheless, this success has raised several concerns. With many variables influencing business schools, it is useful to predict how the future of business schools might look like. Hence, this paper aims to detect current trends in order to forecast and examine the future of German business schools by the year 2035. With the help of the scenario software INKA 4, future scenarios were generated. In order to develop these scenarios, various areas of influence, e.g. Environment, Supply, Demand, Pedagogy, and Technology were identified and conceptualized with regard to current research and literature. The final result consists of four distinct scenarios, which reflect the potential pathway of German business schools in the future.
The German banking landscape is currently undergoing a paradigm shift of an unprecedented magnitude. As the financial world is changing, the future of German banks is highly uncertain. A multitude of present-day driving factors will shape the banking world of tomorrow. Therefore, this thesis aims to investigate and analyze the future of the German banking sector until 2030. The concept of scenario planning serves as underlying method for this research. Based on current factors influencing the German banking sector, the present thesis systematically develops coherent future scenarios. The generation of these scenarios is performed with the help of the scenario software INKA 4. This enables to assess a comprehensive picture of the future environment and the interactions between external influencing factors. Based on the most consistent future scenario, implications for the strategies of German banks are derived. As a result, German incumbents can question their strategic orientation and position themselves optimally for the future.
Parylene-C is used for various biomedical devices because of its high conformity and biocompatibility. However, delamination could occur because of low adhesion between Parylene-C and other materials. For this experiment 4-inch Si-wafers are used. Parylene is deposited by chemical vapour deposition (CVD). Silane A-174 as adhesion promoter is added between Parylene-Parylene layers. The samples are soaked at different duration 1 h, 24 h and 120 h in PBS solution at 37 °C. A peel test is further performed to investigate the adhesion properties of the samples.
Vonnegut vom General Electric Research hat zusammen mit Langmuir und Schäfer in 1947 die Eigenschaft von Silberjodid (AgI) Niederschläge wie Regen, Schnee, Eis auszulösen, untersucht. Hierfür werden die Gewitterwolken im frühen Entwicklungsstadium im Bereich der Aufwindzonen angeflogen. Bei einer Höhe zwischen ein und fünf Kilometer werden die AgI-Generatoren, die an den Flugzeugtragflächen angebracht sind, eingeschaltet. Die Generatoren verbrennen die Lösung, die als Komplex zusammen mit Wasser und Aceton im Behälter vorliegt. Der entstehende Silberjodid-Rauch löst einen Niederschlag in Form von Regen, Schnee oder Graupel aus. Die Gewitterwolke verliert dadurch die erforderliche Energie, um größere Hagelkörner zu bilden. Die Effektivität von Silberjodid-Kristallen zur Bildung von Eiskristallen und Niederschlägen wird auf die hexagonale Struktur zurückgeführt, wie sie auch die Eiskristalle in der Luft haben. Die optimale Menge, mit der die Wolken geimpft werden liegt bei 11 g pro Liter Lösung. Aufgrund der geringen Löslichkeit von Silberjodid in Wasser wird die Löslichkeit in Komplexen wie z.B. im AgI-KI-Wasser-Aceton-Gemisch gesteigert. Die Impfung der Gewitterwolken ist bei Aufwinden zwischen 3 m/s und 5 m/s, also im Frühstadium effektiv. Dabei spielt jedoch auch die Partikelgröße eine entscheidende Rolle. Monodisperse Partikel mit einem Durchmesser von 10 Nanometern sind bis zu Temperaturen von -17 °C und Partikel mit 100 Nanometer Durchmesser sind bei etwa -10 °C aktiv. Die Versuche belegen eine effektive Eiskristallbildungsfähigkeit von Silberjodid ab -5 °C. Unter Laborbedingungen ist stets eine Wirksamkeit ermittelt worden. Bei Versuchen unter realen Bedingungen schwankt die effektive Temperatur ab der das Silberjodid Eiskristalle bildet. Das standardisierte Vorgehen bei der Wolkenimpfung dient daher der Vermeidung von Abweichungen bei der Ermittlung der Effektivität von Silberjodid.
This research identifies positive and negative influence factors by examining the effectiveness of digital video advertising. The objective is to discover ways of leveraging
these factors successfully through an extensive literature review. As this ad format has developed into a staple in most brands' media strategy, it is valuable to drive
understanding of effective implementation forward. Three brands that utilize digital video advertising are selected for an analysis of their recently published ads. This analysis is supported by a suggested model that was developed based on advertising literature to assess ad effectiveness. Results show that the perceived intrusiveness of an ad and the consequential ad avoidance behaviours in consumers represent a hindrance to ad effectiveness. In contrast, elements used in an advertisement that increase its value facilitated ad effectiveness. Credibility, entertainment and informativeness are ad value contributors and impact ad recall, the gateway to positive marketing outcomes such as purchasing decisions. The circumstances under which consumers are exposed to digital video advertisements play a role in if the ad message can effectively be conveyed.
While negative influence factors have their detriment, they can still be counteracted and leveraged. Advertisers and ad-supported video streaming sites like YouTube can find
ways to broadcast ads without significantly impeding the user experience and, in doing so, secure the continued profitability of this promotion format that depends on users
watching ads.
Da die Anforderungen an ein in der Autotür verbautes Türschloss aufgrund Unfallverhütung stetig steigen, muss auch der Schließbügel an der Karosseriesäule weiterentwickelt werden. Die Konstruktion und Entwicklung ist bisher sehr
kosten- und zeitintensiv. Daher soll parallel zur momentanen Abzugsprüfung durch den Zugversuch, die Simulation dieser Prüfung aufgebaut werden. Im Rahmen dieser Forschungsarbeit wird aufgezeigt, auf welche äußeren Einflussfaktoren besonderen Wert gelegt werden muss und wie detailliert die Simulation aufgebaut sein muss um ein gutes Ergebnis zu bekommen.
